Re: Shock Absorbers for the electrical system

Thus far, we have not planned to use shock mounting for the battery as I had hoped. However, where it is located and the way it is mounted will minimize problems, I hope. We use perforated aluminum sheet and ty wrap everything down to the sheet as close to the component as possible. I don't recommend hot glue as a rule. The power connection to the wireless adapter seems to me to be the most critical followed by the modules in the Crio. Depending where the heaviest components are located, the 3 plus pounds of the compressor or Crio will definitely move when hit.
