Are you using a "Battery strap" to secure the battery?

[PopUnoNkoK]

As the title reads, are you using any kind of aftermarket / third party battery strap to secure the battery in place?

If so, do you have a link to which one?

Hello from the Hoosier Heartland, PopUnoNkoK.

Here are links to the clips.

Here is another option using a rubber O ring.

Welcome to the Forum. ?

I use a #141 O-ring. I tried the clip but found it too much bother to put on/off. I just roll the o-rig up onto the top and roll it back down over the battery. It goes around the legs and then both loops go over the battery (making like a double "C" shape. If you are in the USA and want to try the clip I'll send you mine for free. PM me your address
I always practice safe Sparking.

I have this from ebay works great

I'm using the O-Ring method and it's so easy and WORKS!! Cheap, Easy, Effective... YES

absolutely I use the clips, it is foolish not to for the minimal cost and repercussions of the battery coming free in flight.

I just received these clips. They seem a little stiff to snap on. Haven't flown with them yet .

I bought it from aliexpress. Dirt cheap.

I'm a real belt and suspenders guy but..I've got two sparks and five batteries and they all have a really good fit and solid click in. I"m wondering if there could be aircraft and batteries that were built without the same fit. I do like the design (and price) of that ABS guard above

I always use the clip. Cheap insurance. I also use a spare clip with my CREE strobe attached to it.

I'm a belt and suspenders guy too...

I use a battery clip clip the secure my battery clip in place. You can never be too careful

But seriously, if you just inspect your batteries and take care to remove and insert them properly they aren't gonna just fall out.

Rubber O Ring is best and Cheaper and you can have it today from any auto part stores.

And you won’t ruin your wrap or vinyl using O ring method . Even Landing gear was ruining my vinyl.

But the o-ring doesn't look as good as the clip!

 

[windryder]

I use the battery clip that I bought on Wish.com for $1.00 just for one less thing to worry about.

Spoken like someone who bought the clip!

And I bet you have to remove it before you put your spark back in the case or box it came in.
