Simple rules:

  1. Post photos of your top mount battery and its housing.

  2. Post your configuration, cell type (ex. 18S20P Samsung 40T cells) and who made it.

  3. Link to enclosure used.

Edit: use a case database search to find something that fits:

Here’s a list of enclosure brands and dimensions that may be a useful addition to this thread, as of October 2021:
(I was searching for a good medium size aka 12s5p in NESE modules or ~12s8p welded pack. Most of these brands offer smaller and larger versions)

Ok here we go

Pelicase 1150 bolted to the deck with rubber rings between bolts and deck.

M4 countersink bolts and 2mm thick square nuts with Loctite, never came loose.

What’s inside right now, a self-made 12s6p of VTC6

Then a sturdy divider to seperate the battery from the BMS inside the enclosure. I bent 0.8mm aluminium sheet to desired shape.

Cushioning everywhere, mostly a combination of hard and soft foams.

For the vescs I bent 2mm ABS sheet with the heat gun.
