Has anyone out there seen this being done before?

Would be interested to see if it’s possible somehow. Way prefer using fidlock waterbottles due to the clean look - would be awesome if there was a way to securely use a fidlock mount for the powermore battery to save having to faff and swap mounts over for rides where the extra 250wh is needed

You can get a bottle cage that clicks into the Powermore adaptor, here, though I do agree with you that the fidlock water bottles have a much cleaner look. Not sure whether the fidlock fixing would be secure enough, the Powermore battery is heavy and just a slight nudge from my leg on the side of a full water bottle will dislodge it for me!:unsure:

I believe like me he wants the Fidlock attachment to use with existing bottles when the Powermore is not attached, one that clips into the Powermore mount
 
I just finished modifying the bottle cage to become a fidlock base. Works perfectly for my application, which is the fidlock tool box. When I'm running the powermore battery, I'll also use a bigger hydration pack that will fit my tools... I used plastic cement and stainless rivets to mount the fidlock base to the bottle cage.

Really? That would be great! My problem is I’m left-handed and the Bosch bottle holder adapter exits on the right… Not to mention I’ve been used to the convenience of Fidlock for years. Do you happen to have a link regarding this Fidlock adapter? Thanks a lot!

Yes, I contacted Fidlock about it but the lady said they didn’t know when they’d be available……

So do you still need to glue the female to the battery pack?

I don’t think ( and certainly hope ) any gluing is needed. The fidlock plate clips on to the PowerMore bracket on the bike, converting the PowerMore bracket to a fidlock mount for your bottle.
