Meshtastic Battery Tray & RAK4631 Mount
Printed Mounting Brackets
This is a two-part mounting system for a Meshtastic Solar Node, designed to securely house a high-capacity battery inside a standard 150x100x70mm Waterproof IP67 Junction Box.
The design utilizes stacked mounting plates:
Lower Battery Tray: Mounts directly to the existing plastic standoffs of the junction box. It is sized specifically for a 10,000mAh MakerHawk LiPo battery.
Upper Mounting Plate: Screws into the standoffs on the battery tray, providing a secure platform for the RAK19007/RAK4631 WisBlock.
Key Features:
Integrated Antenna Slot: Dedicated holder for the flat internal Bluetooth antenna.
Wire Management: Built-in cutouts for clean routing of battery and solar power wires.
Secure Fit: Designed to prevent the battery from shifting while allowing enough room for wire leads.
