  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

MY12 - TE250/310 Battery Mount

I put a new Earth-X in our 310, but I couldn't really see a good way to hold it in solid. I've got this mismash of zipties that holds it down, but I have to destroy the zipties to change the filter or remove the battery.

I would very much appreciate a photo of how you made a solid mount from what you had to work with.

Thank you very much.

Create two loops that go through the drain holes on the rear fender shelf and move to the sides. Stick one of the adhesive foam pads to the bottom of the battery so it grips the shelf. I am not using the stock tray and I like the battery sitting lower than stock as it is away from possible contact with frame cross member. I also use a neoprene pad placed between battery and fender (old piece of wetsuit). Place battery and slide zip ties onto shoulders of battery and make sure they are snug. Solid and easy to slide loops aside and remove battery. I have replaced the zip ties once maybe. Otherwise never come loose or been an issue. When I first got the EarthX I was a bit miffed on how to secure it and had another zip tie across the front to hold it back but was unnecessary. On my 2nd EarthX and 3+ years later. All good.
 
I used these elastic stretch ties I found at Home Depot a while ago.

They just stretch out of the way to remove the battery to change the air filter.

The problem is I can't find them again!
 
drill holes in the ribs on the inner fender and ziptie the thing in place also add an old inner tube wrap or other barrier to prevent dirt chafe cutting into battery and add high density close cell foam as well. example , we went on and on with this , from a 4 cell test battery from ballistic that lasted a few months then they gave me the 8 cell.

another example, this was the first install after removing the lead acid battery we threw in a 4 cell ballistic (CV4 same) trying to super super light. It was good for couple months but died fast and Ballistic sent me an 8 cell , no charge for the R&D test.
