Very well done...however....I would have to worry just how well the phone holder is gonna hold onto the phone if you happen to hit an unexpected rough section of road.

This looks very neat. I did a cheapo method with a similar battery pack I strap to my stem (120mm long - just fits). I wrapped the battery in a piece of mtb bike tube and left it a bit longer to protect the cable and plug from rain. Then I strap it on using the cable wrap velcro from an old laptop power cable wrap. But this method looks way stronger and I might just try this.

This is how I do it. It works great for me. I can slip in in and out quickly.

Nice. All very McGyver-ish. But why not just a small handlebar bag? Keep the battery and cable stored while not used, keep it equally protected while in use for your stem/handlebar-mounted phone or GPS unit, or even power headlight. Plus a few snacks and your wallet and keys. I have this Chrome/DKlein bag on my gravel bike.
I realize handlebar bags are oh-so-70s, and may not be for the aero-crowd, but they are picking up in popularity again, and are quite "handy" and easily removed.

If you have a battery you don't mind "defacing," I've had good luck with the felt pads you can buy for lamps, furniture, etc stuck to the bottom and then using two straps instead of one. I can cinch them down pretty tight and it stays put. Cork strips also work
