How do y’all connect your battery/pelican case to your DIY mountainboard? Pictures appreciated. I want to have my 18s6p in the pelican case secure when riding but also readily removable so I don’t need to lug my 40 pound board inside for it to charge.
I have used ratchet straps and bungee cables before but I’d prefer a much cleaner and refined option. I was considering maybe using the same latch that is used on utility boxes, but I’ve not figured out a way to make that happen yet
I know my mtb, @MichaelWA’s MTB, and a number of others used an apex deck (rip apex) with pre installed threaded inserts in the deck which could be installed yourself on any deck+pelicase combo (tutorial+more info on that here) this is probably one of the cleanest looking methods but pretty inconvenient if you want to quick swap batteries, maybe check out the MBS Agent series, I believe they have a pretty refined quick swap system they they may be intending to sell aftermarket or could potentially serve as a starting point to design your own
My favourite off the shelf solution is the trampa dog bone
It’s easy enough to DIY the same thing in various different ways as well.
Use silentblocks type B or type C.
Have it also in my video . Check time 2:15
They look awesome!! Do they come as a double female? My only concern would be that they might be difficult to undo without access to both sides of it
I’ve had a bad experience with those rubber threaded blocks. Wouldn’t recommend when you’re planning on doing occasional jumps and hard riding.
After that, I changed the mounting to inserts in the box and bolting it to the board with bushings in between.
On another board I’ve mounted the box with velcro and it’s been great too. (Just be sure to get the original velcro brand)
I also have a quick swap system that I designed that a few people are running, mostly people I’ve sold to locally, and maybe one or two on the forum. @bboybowzer has one setup that I think is still running.
Haven’t put much dev time into it lately tbh, I have ideas for a v2 just haven’t done it yet
Do you have any pictures or something?
Does it have a quick release feature?
None on hand, I technically sell it in my store but I’ve been testing it for a while so it wasn’t listed. It’s all 3D printed custom design with springs and stuff
There’s no quick release battery box system on the market as far as I know, until MBS release theirs for sale.
The trampa ones will undo with 4 bolts from beneath the board. You could swap in a couple of minutes no dramas.
You’d need the dog bones on each battery box in your system tho
Strap the packs together and secure the battery enclosure on the deck. Just remove your battery every time you wanna charge.
I wonder if Acedeck would sell this quick release adapter as an accessory once they finalize the design. Not sure how well it would hold up to real mountain board abuse though.

Yes . Double females is type C
Hi Bro. It looks that You have a Trampa deck and so heavy metal battery box. Fit that setup You need just 3 silentblocks with diameter min. 35mm just in the middle like original Trampa or Haero layout. Just must check specs of silent blocks producer to be able choose correctly robust solution. My friend used it like I said and no issues till now also on Trampa and metal box with 12s6p. For decks like MBS or Apex/Haero You can choose square layout (smaller square is better, and do it like AxA not AxB) but for Trampa You must use it just 3 in center line and bigger diameter and height . Minimum 35 diameter x20 high. Also Your actual solution it not look like perfect, it will jammed box or threads. Move it to centerline because of flex .
i really love my z3 very pricey compare it to diy but they put the quality in first place so i think they improved very fast
my old set up is velcro with strap in a lipo fiberglass bag with some foam padding never have problem so far and it survived 2 crash
In my day job as a cabinetmaker, we use these connectors to join panels and infills all the time. They slide together and lock really well, and theyre cheap.
