Not sure if the tape hold down method would address this, it just seems quite easy for the pack to come into contact with the bars. Any ideas?
I made some aluminum tabs to position the battery front to back. I noticed the side to side movement, so I'm working some that will help with that too. If we're lucky, Jason has some of these batteries and is working on a set made out of brass. That way we can locate the battery and put on a little extra weight.
