Worked like a charm. I just put the battery inside one layer of the foam and put sellotape around to make a more smooth surface and securing the battery. Pushed it inside the post, sits very tight and secure.
It work for a bit. But anytime ive ysed foam it degrades and it will slip out. Also found if it gets wet and stays wet it'll kill that battery. It works but check it often. Somebody is going to make a fortune on an adapter that really works.
Or better yet glue the battery to the inside of a vertically cut piece from a kevlar bead mtb tire. (of course you have to wrap just right just like with the packing material.) But, the rubber lugs will grip firmly inside the seatpost tube and most importantly; won't degrade like the packing material. No matter what, I would still once it's installed; hit it with a tiny bit of insulation caulking or rubber glue at the bottom to make sure it doesn't fall out.
Would never use this method. Never underestimate the amount of vibration, knocks and abuse miles and miles of riding will do. Better be SUPER tight. That slid in too easy.
While this may work, on a temporary basis, i would never, ever, use this method as the battery will slip eventually and will have to replaced when it breaks. You are better off spending the few pounds, dollars, yen or whatever and get a real mount and live headache free.

Didn't have foam knocking around but I used spare bar tape I had from a recent install. Thanks for the tip off though!

I'm not sure of the draw on that battery, and if it gets hot or not. If it does get hot, insulating it would be a bad idea for longevity.
It still needs a sort of retainer
Noice Nick, super helpful for a transplant;)
Genio, me diste una gran idea!!!
What are these batteries for?
What do they do?
Shimano Di2 electronic shifting internal battery power source.
How do you prevent the wires by the BB from hitting the crank spindle?

this is genius
That's one expensive problem once the foam degrades. It'll slip out eventually.
Bad, buy shimano or ritchey inside seat post brackets.
