New battery arrives, a shorty Sign in to follow this Followers 0 Entry posted by BeemMeUp · June 18, 2020 132 views Not as in electrical short, but as in dimensionally short. 5mm to be exact. So the battery hold-down strap is quite loose over the new battery. Sign in to follow this Followers 0
Selden Posted June 18, 2020 Put a piece of closed cell foam under the battery or between strap and battery. 1 Quote Share this comment Link to comment
BeemMeUp Posted June 18, 2020 Thanks, I checked my stash but have nothing thin enough. I do have a collection of rubber grommets about the right thickness. I could put one of those in each corner of the battery tray. Quote Share this comment Link to comment
Hosstage Posted June 18, 2020 I would want something to spread the load out a little more on the plastic case than the four corner grommets. I've seen cardboard used to make battery spacers. Not saying it's right, just saying I've seen it. Quote Share this comment Link to comment
Skywagon Posted June 18, 2020 Go get thin piece of plywood from hobby store. Paint it black. You can get it as small as 1/16. Hobby store as in model airplanes Quote Share this comment Link to comment
BeemMeUp Posted June 19, 2020 Thanks for the suggestions. I like the idea of some cushioning under the battery to reduce vibrations. Looks like 1/4" thick mat of some type could work Quote Share this comment Link to comment
lkraus Posted June 19, 2020 My PC680 was a little shorter than the stock battery, and a different connection meant the positive terminal cover did not fit. A section of bucket lid took care of both issues. Quote Share this comment Link to comment
