Hello all,
Our Formula Electric team is trying to find the best way to restrain our batteries in the car this year. If you aren't familiar with the rules, we have to restrain them to sustain a 10 G vertical and 20 G lateral load. We have the lateral taken care of, but the vertical is giving us some trouble.
So far on the table we have:
Double sided sticky tape (not our first option, we have tensile test data proving it works)
Industrial strength zip ties (150lb tensile strength, we could use a few of them)
Heavy duty straps similar to backpack style.
We can't really think of anything else, however we are trying to use the least janky option we can find.
Thanks for any help!
