Re: best way to temp mount battery

It takes time, but in order to do this construct a frame that secures the battery and then secure it to the frame with bolts.

It doesn't matter the materials you build the battery restraint from (wood, steel, aluminum, polycarb, etc.) - it is a VERY bad idea to place the battery without it being constrained. You do not want the battery to come loose for obvious reasons: damage to the battery (costly and messy), and damage to your robot.

Build a battery frame that you can use now and in subsequent years. Take the time now and save time later.
