Battery tray

[magman]

If you cut both ends you will weaken the tray considerably as its strength comes from its corners.....if at all possible leave one end intact. I would cut the rear and leave the front. Figuring that you are more likely to nose dive and or hit something moving forward... so by leaving the front of the tray intact, you eliminate any forward movement of the batt. With velcro on batt and bottom of tray and 2 straps I would imagine it would be ok. Once you have the batt in the tray you could always make a new stop point for the batt as well.

just my 2 cents
