Battery orientation

[AlbaRC]

So, I bought a couple of CNHL g+ 3s batteries. They were on sale for a great price and in my enthusiastic hurry I purchased them without checking the dimensions. They arrived and I immediately knew they were going to be a nightmare fitting them in my Kraton 6s. I found that they fit in the tray side by side, my question is, can they be run like this? Has anyone else done it this way? Any advice would be welcome, thanks.

Just strap them down nice & tight , you'll be good to go!

Oh and rotate them , where their battery leads are facing up away from the metal chassis.. Don't want to cause a short from a Hard crash/Bash and get those wires accidentally cut against chassis' edge..

Thanks for the reply. Good shout about the battery leads. Never thought about that

Had a nasty tail landing and the batteries tried ejecting out the back with the strap stuck in between them. I put a piece of a dead wing I cut out behind the batteries and have never had this problem since.

I thought that might be an issue as well, I've got some spare high density foam I'm gonna use, hopefully does the trick
