You had just taken delivery of a new Dremel and were keen to test it's efficacy?
My initial approach if I was setting this bike up would be to test fit the complete wiring loom without cutting/drilling anything that I absolutely did not have to injure.
The official in-seatpost battery is seemingly much cheaper now (than when I bought the damn thing) but my bike is proof that you can make a very effective in-seatpost battery for less than a tenner, so I might be tempted to do that instead.
I don't know if an unofficial battery would charge through the front wiring harness though- that might be worth checking out, although that said I think I've seen the guy who sells DIY battery kits on eBay claim that you just need to plug a charging wire into a spare port on a shifter to power the whole thing up.
I might try that myself, actually.
