Default Securing Receivers and batteries

I found this one a hard one to use the search feature on so my apologies []

My question is: how do you guys, in general, secure the receivers and batteries in the fuselage ?

I have a Kadet Senior that I'll be balancing today and realize the receiver and battery may get "seperated" by a few inches to assist in achieving the correct center of gravity. So what technique(s) do you use for securing the receiver and battery whether seperate or together ?

I understand the need to wrap the bejebus out of 'em in foam but how then do you secure the foam bundle to the "cabin". I would think it's particularly important with the battery as if that were to shift around in flight the CoG could be altered significantly, or worse, become unplugged.

Thanks [8D].
