Mobula 8 - Battery Clip

The mobula 8 is a good drone, but its battery attachment system is far too limiting. To increase the choice of drone batteries that can be used with the mobula 8, we need to make a few adaptations.

I've designed a very simple and flexible system to allow you to quickly switch from one battery to another. It's also very light, so there's no impact on the drone's flight capacity.

I've created 4 models, for 4 batteries that work well with the Mobula 8. The models are identified by dots in the clip:

1. LAVA2S 550 : 1 dot (The battery with the shortest flight time : ≈2 minutes)
2. TATTU2S 450 : 3 dots (The funniest battery for this drone, but a little short on flight time : ≈3 minutes)
3. FLYWOO2S 750 : 2 dots (a good compromise between flight and agility : ≈4 minutes)
4. FLYWOO2S 1000 : 4 dots (This battery keeps the drone in the air the longest, but makes it a little heavy and clumsy : 5 minutes)

Note: I'm not affiliated with drone-fpv-racer, and I get nothing if you buy the batteries. I just provide them as a reference because it's a good store.

Instructions :

1. Cut the 2 plastic parts connecting the original battery cage so that only two parallel parts of the cage remain, each forming a loop (see photos). This part will serve as an attachment point for the 3D-printed parts.
2. To increase friction and hold the batteries in place, I placed self-adhesive scratch pads (the abrasive part) on both sides of the batteries. This ensures that the battery doesn't move at all when it's in place.
3. Clip on the small 3D printing clip to hold the battery in place. Make sure the clip is firmly in place.
4. Easily unclips once the flight is over.

Personnal Experience : I've flown dozens of hours with my clips without the slightest problem. However, I recommend that you print out several so that you have spares in case of breakage. Also, avoid using them if they start to warp or show signs of wear.

Happy Flying !
