Step 6Final Assembly
Step 6: Add the finishing touches to the power supply
A. First photo shows the wiring harness bundled and zip-tied underneath the bottle cap. JB-Weld was added to dimming pot wires for strain relief.
B. Drill holes in bottle cap for on/off toggle switch and dimming pot as seen in second photo.
C. I padded the battery pack with pipe insulation for protection inside the bottle.
Shown in the third photo is the 2-pin connector that came with the charger. This was soldered onto the coiled wire coming through the bottle spout to connect to LEDs.
