Help identify & source side-take-out battery case

[braunschweiger]

I am tasked to build a spare replacement battery to fit a chinese e-bike branded 'magmove ceh55m' from around 2022. The battery is designed for side-take-out. The case goes by the name 'clouded leopard' CLOUDED LEOPARD_Shenzhen World New Power Co., Ltd. or CLOUDED LEOPARD (TAKEN FROM SIDE)-VELOTEC SPORTS TECHNOLOGY. No answer from either one.

This seems to leave me with three options (in order of personal preference)

1. get an old used one and replace cells
2. forget the idea of building a spare and replace cells in existing dated battery
3. re-design the case in CAD based on the existing battery and have it CNC machined

The sellers of the few second hand magmove batteries on offer over time did expect to get paid for the battery's weight in gold equivalent - cannot do.
So question is: do you have any other source for this battery case or do you know of any other brand name such battery/case has been used for?
Here's the mug shots

Have you tried contacting the ebike manufacturer or vendor?

I have found no contact for the manufacturer - the label 'magmove' seems to not lead anywhere.
The vendor was geekmaxi.com, one of those chinese-european go-between carton pushers - no response.

Have you also tried reverse image searches from a bunch of different angles? I often can find obscure parts on Alibaba or Google image search with this combined with related names or model codes

The images posted here didn't seem to return much though.

The biggest issue you'll have is that even if you do find a manufacturer that sells empty cases, it'll likely be quite expensive for just one, if they will even sell you one.

And if you weren't already doing this, always try reach out on Whatsapp to Chinese manufacturers. Often higher response rate
