I needed a battery to power the front light of my bicycle last night, here is my solution. You will need:
- A 4,5V flashlight battery
- A zip tie
- An adhesive pad for the zip tie
- A nose pliers
- Bend the battery terminals in two, crimp the hinge area.
- Slightly lift the free side to facilitate the insertion of a wire
- Attach the adhesive pad to the battery, slide the zip tie in the pad and attach the whole contraption to the bicycle
- Insert the wires in the clamps you made earlier: let there be light.
If you can’t find the adhesive zip tie pad, you can still use the good old fashioned duct tape.
