If you ride an e-bike or scooter you’ve probably thought about your battery. Maybe you’re wondering if you need a new one or how to get more power out of your current setup. Well this is where custom lithium-ion batteries come in. These are designed for your bike or scooter and today we’ll go over what that means for you. Don’t worry, this won’t be too technical—we’re keeping it simple!
So why bother with a custom battery in the first place? Well, a custom lithium-ion battery gives you control. It’s like upgrading your phone’s battery but for your e-bike or scooter. You get to choose how long it lasts, how much power it gives you and even how big it is. It’s built for you and your needs.
With a custom battery you’re not stuck with what comes standard. So if you need to go longer (oops, I said “go”—I meant if you need to go further), or if you have a specific power requirement, custom batteries are where it’s at.
Now aries a new problem, so you have your new custom battery all wrapped in plastic looking awesome how do you attach it to your bike, theres nothing out there besides going to bunnings and buying sheet metal and bending a box to hold your battery, no thanks. Do you tape it on with duct tape? Definately not.
That’s where these 3D printed boxes come in. They’re tough, lightweight and can handle the bumps, knocks and whatever else you throw at your bike or scooter. Plus they’re made for your battery so it fits like a glove.
Okay, so the big question—will it last longer or go faster? The answer is yes! A custom battery can give you more power and go further. It all depends on what you want out of it. If you need more speed you can get a battery for that. If you need distance there’s a custom battery for that too.
It’s like this: imagine you’re using a standard battery that’s okay but then you switch to a custom one made for how you use your bike or scooter. Suddenly you have way more power or you’re going a lot further without needing to recharge. That’s the difference.
One of the questions people always ask—is it safe? Yes it is. Custom lithium-ion batteries are designed with safety in mind. They can handle whatever conditions you’re in whether you’re zipping around the city or hitting dirt trails. Plus those 3D printed battery boxes keep everything nice and secure.
For extra protection we also offer potting and encapsulating. Now these might sound like fancy terms but all it really means is extra protection for your battery’s internal components. Potting and encapsulating seals the battery from moisture, dust and even shocks from rough roads or trails. It’s like adding an extra layer of armor around your battery so it stays safe and runs smoothly no matter what.
Just follow the instructions (yeah I know, nobody likes to read instructions) but it’s important for smooth and safe operation.
So you’re thinking “How do I get one of these custom batteries?” It’s not as hard as you think. You don’t need to be a tech genius or an engineer to get this done. Just let us know what you need—more power, more distance or even a specific size to fit your bike. We’ll build it for you.
And don’t worry we have options for every budget. You don’t have to break the bank to get a battery that makes a big difference.
Good question. Do you absolutely need a 3D printed battery box? Well not necessarily but it makes life easier. It keeps your battery safe and it’s made for your battery. You don’t want your battery bouncing around or getting damaged especially after you’ve invested in a custom one right? So while it’s not a must have it’s a good idea.
Let’s be real you don’t want to spend a bunch of money on a new battery only to have it wear out too fast. Luckily keeping a custom lithium-ion battery running is easy.
Don’t drain it all the way: If you can try not to let the battery die completely before you charge it again.
Keep it cool: Heat isn’t your battery’s friend. So avoid storing it in hot places.
Charge it regularly: You don’t need to wait for it to run low—just plug it in after your trip and you’re good to go.
At the end of the day investing in a custom lithium-ion battery and 3D printed battery box is worth it if you care about performance and durability. It’s not a one size fits all situation. Your e-bike or scooter deserves something that fits your needs whether you’re after speed, more distance or just a battery that works day in day out.
So yeah if you’re on the fence about getting a custom battery just do it. It’s easier than you think and the payoff is huge. And you won’t have to worry about running out of juice when you’re out and about.
