Re: Battery mounting

Phoenix,
Some teams actually make a battery box or tray that the battery slips into. Ours holds the battery secure and has a door to hold it in place. Angle aluminum works well to outline the battery to keep it from slipping around and a heavy belt with quick release buckle works well. Some team even use a large wire tie or two and sacrifice them each match.
