Default Battery mounting???

I am having trouble mounting a battery in my plane. I have always just glued them in but after a few flights it will come off. Is there a better way to mount the battery??

Thanks

Batteries do not like vibration. I glue foam to the fuse and pressure fit the batteries. Some use Velcro.

Mount you packs with foam and tywraps or foam and velcro.

Just a word of caution here, you didn't say what size battery you are using but be sure your mount system can handle the load. For instance, a 5 cell 1800 mha battery weighs about 8 onces, at 10 G's thats 5 pounds!
