Hi Everyone

Just wanted to share a custom starter battery tray that I made in about one hour from scrap sheet metal. My battery tray has velcro on it to attach two battery packs, that also have velcro on them, in series. I also use strips of velco to ensure the batteries do not fall off when I am using the starter. I made the tray big enough to use any 6 cell NiCd, 6 cell NiMh, or a 2S Lipo pack. Whether I have two of my 6 cell NiMh packs or 2S Lipo packs attached the starter feels balanced in my hand.

Thanks for the comment. Not only does it look good, feels good to use, but also works good for me.
Necessity . . . in not seeing myself spending anywhere from $13 and up for a battery attachment, which I would rather spend on spare parts for my Aeolus 50 3D.
Necessity . . . in keeping everything as compact and organized to use.
I think it was more just the feeling about making a unique item with your hands that fits the bill for yourself. After the gloss black paint dried, I thought to myself that I should have blinged it out with a custom paint job. Either way the gloss black matches the CF on my Aeolus 50 3D.
