| PowerPole Lid for the Miady 7.2Ah LiFePO4 Battery | post | micha | 2023-01-05T14:00:00+02:00 | /miady-powerpole-lid/ |

I was looking for a small, lightweigt, affordable but powerful battery for portable ham radio use and decided to buy a Miady 12,8V 7,2Ah LiFePO4 battery.
After some initial testing I decided that this battery fits my needs but I was not happy with the idea of having a PowerPole cable soldered to battery hanging loosely around. I wanted the battery to have two PowerPole connectors (e.g. for the transceiver and the power amplifier) and they should be somehow integrated into the battery.
The solution was a custom designed 3D printed lid with integrated PowerPole connectors that will be glued to the top of the battery:
After the top of the battery has been sanded, cleaned and all the cables been crimped and soldered, I super-glued the lid to the battery. The PowerPoles are NOT glued to anything.
The final result:
