ZMR250 LiPo Battery Pad & Protector - LiPo Battery Protection System

thingiverse

I set out on a mission to design something that would stop the LiPo abuse after noticing all my LiPos were more beat up on the bottom than they were on top! LiPos aren't cheap, so you want them to last as long as possible, especially if you're like me and are on a tight budget. That means adequately protecting them during crashes. The LiPo battery pad I designed functions similar to the gel pads many people use - it simply elevates the battery above the bolts that will dent it upon impact. Unlike other gel pads though, this one is specially designed for the ZMR250 and simply snaps into the top plate! The upper pad protects the battery in the event of an upside-down crash or a scrape from a tree branch. It also has triangular shock-absorbing protrusions at the front and back that protect the upper edges of the battery - parts that often get damaged in a crash. Lastly, the upper pad increases the surface area of the lipo strap ensuring it doesn't fly off during a crash or in flight. For best results, print in TPU. Don't own a 3D printer? No problem! Purchase one on eBay. **Update 4/28/19** I slightly thickened the upper protection pad for increased rigidity as well as updated Banana Science logo text.
