I am in the middle of designing a battery case for my ebike and printing it. Now my question is: should I add some vents to allow a little airflow. It seems like a good idea when dry but rain is my concern. I was thinking that maybe I could either 1) design a latch that I could push down if it rains or 2) just carry some kind of small cover with me (maybe in the case) that I could put over it in the event of rain. What are your thoughts?
Should I vent my battery case?

If your battery needs ventilation, then it is insufficient for the loads placed on it, and probably needs a lot more parallel cells.
I'd worry more about water ingress, if the battery doesnt get warm / hot.

Get a one way pressure valve like this... https://www.e-bike-technologies.de/...re-balancing-valve/gore-pmf-100600-135-detail but perhaps a little bigger?

+1. wanted to write the same. if the battery get so hot that it needs cooling it's undersized.amberwolf said:

all of my 3 ebike batteries are not sealed and have small openings , heat build up is not good for your cells.

If it's not too hot to touch comfortably then it's fine. If it is, it's too small.miro13car said:
