So close to finishing my emtb project. I just have a big problem :cry::cry: Itā€™s about 1/2ā€ gap What should I do ? Was thinking thick gaskets but donā€™t think I could find something that thick. Also thought about even applying some sort of wedges on my board where the enclosure will sit. Iā€™m kinda helpless atm does anyone have better idea then what I came up with ?? image image image

The batteryā€™s too tall for the enclosure

What about a little bit of silicone? :smile: Edit: As far as I know there is even some black siliconeā€¦

I dontā€¦Is that pack double stacked? A single flat row of cells is 3/4" tall. Double stack would be 1.5"

What mounts you using on those trampa trucks? Edit: dope I mean MBS trucksā€¦:see_no_evil:

I canā€™t see in your picture but does your enclosure come with gasket?

If you canā€™t find a enclosure to fit or make one yourself, and you donā€™t care about losing Flex. You could build up the deck by using thin slats of wood and some kind of epoxy/polyurethane sealerā€¦ seems like more work than just making an enclosure but, it could work.

@ethel Iā€™m using MBS matrix I I believe their called and the mounts that I have will be @Rithblu

@Skunk yea not worry for flex since my pack is non flexi, so I maybe have to do something like that. I was thinking of putting thin strips of wood where the enclosure will sit cause a raise for the enclosure

A gasket around the enclosure may help

Like some 1/2ā€ tall gasket. Searching eBay and Amazon right now. Could even probably double stack the gaskets if I canā€™t find the size I need

How did you double stack it???

Donā€™t think so. Once folded itā€™s double stack, unless Iā€™m wrong

Oh. Thatā€™s before. I see. Derp derp

Hahah you had me second guessing myself there for a moment :joy::joy:

What deck is that one? If itā€™s the MBS it will flex, this could be very dangerous for a non flexible battery pack.

Please upload pictures of your battery build, but as I see it Iā€™m very concerned

@Eboosted Itā€™s a ebay mountain board deck thatā€™s 10ply thatā€™s stiff with no type of flex Hereā€™s the photo of my pack setup Pretty much like my 10s4p setup Iā€™m riding now just this time 12s6p Please give any advice I would love your inputs :blush:

I have a hard time believing the deck has no flex at all, all mtbs have flex even the 10ply ones. Hop on the board with no electronics mounted and jump on the center, you might get a closer insight and decide if you need to rework that battery pack.

Remember you need fish paper between p-groups thatā€™s the main cause of fire
