Battery - Grip Tape

RichWest · Jan 29, 2016

Don't know about the rest of you, but I have difficulty grasping the Solo battery and removing it off the bird. Not sure anyone has actually posted similar, but here is a quick application of grip tape applied to the battery. The tape was applied to both sides, it actually works. The tape can be had at most hardware stores or skate board shops . Razor blade cut the backside of the tape if you want your blade to last.

I imagine someone could get quite creative with the idea...as there are colors available as well if you look. Good luck!

For you guys in Berkley, go to the 510 Skateboarding shop...

I think it's a pretty good ideal!
I know it can be a challenge to take the battery out of the tray.. It's hard to grip it so it dosint slide out of your hand...!
Thanks for sharing Rich..

Cheers

I don't have pix to post, but I've done something similar: No Skidding Anti Slip Resilient Grip Tape - Black, Grey, Clear - NS4500 Series

Same concept, but instead of being the sandpaper-type of grip, it's rubberized, as you'd find on a handgun grip. Don't know that it's any better or worse, but I do prefer rubber over sandpaper feel.

I almost bead blasted the same pattern, then I thought otherwise.... Whatever makes life easier.
