I wonder if you could incorporate a mechanical A-B switch kind of device, so that you could have one lead that comes out of a future iteration of this battery system. OF course, it would have to be an A-B-C-D-E switch, but you could plug in your charger, then just flip to another letter every couple hours.

It may not be too hard to incorporate a slide or rotary switch into the pack, and have just the knob (or a slot for a screwdriver) thru the case of the battery, which will allow you to put the covers back on.

This is not so much for gliding in the rain, but because this is a lot of power to have uncovered, since the road is full of all sorts of hazards, including puddles, and other potential hazards.
