Anyone know or have a good idea of what the largest HxLxW battery dimensions are that will fit under the EKOS canopy? With and without the battery tray?

Looking to fit some batts that could be as large as 160x44x30.

I run these & they are a snug fit. 50mm wide is the limit with out taking out the side of the battery tray.

Thanks Bug. Would you mind doing a quick measure of the batt spaces?

Seems now I won't be home for at least another month but would like to get batteries arriving back home about the time I get back. I'd been running some 2650's from one of my helis in there while deciding if I wanted to keep the EKOS so I never really looked at the dimensions before deploying.

The size of the timber holder is 155mm long x 50mm wide x 30mm high. You could go up to 35mm high & it should still fit. Here is what mine look like in the holders. I had to dremel out a section to allow th leads to come out & the batteries to sit flush.
