    Lithium Battery Tray

    Are there any lower cost battery trays out there yet for Lithium batteries? I don't want to pay $50 or $60 for a battery tray. Thanks

    That's about the going rate. I ended up 3D printing one. If you have a buddy with a printer, it might be a reasonable option, depending on the size.

    Get the batterys dimensions. Look for the size you need(close to the size you need). There are no special Lithium trays needed. Just get the kind with a hold down.
    Tell me where has a slow movin' once quick draw outlaw got to go

    There are some oddball sizes out there. I'm doing some homework on batteries in the 45-60Ah range, and they are all over the board.

    Many don't remotely fit a typical "Group XX" sized battery tray.

    With the exception of 2-3 batteries we offer most will fit in a 27/31 plastic tray and be perfectly fine

    Since they do not spill LifePo4`s why do you need a tray? Why not just use your old battery straps and make a simple slide thru mount for the strap?

    I bought 2 when I bought my batteries. The new lithiums are much smaller than my previous G31's. I could have kept the original ones and rigged them BUT for as much as I payed for the new batteries and charger , an additional 70 buck was not going to break the bank
