I have a VCLS post and a di2 battery chucked in my seat tube. It is not ideal but has been fine for 10,000km. It is not loose however, I wrapped it in some plasticky stuff I had lying about so it's somewhat insulated from the frame tubes
PhilDAS-
Yeah, a quick google gave me the idea of zip tieing the battery to the bottom of the vcls seatpost, and wrapping it with bubble wrap to prevent rattling.
A bit off topic - what's a good way of getting rid of this oxidisation/corrosion on the hub/spoke? Tried a toothbrush and some degreaser ,bur didn't want to budge. Wheels are Hunt carbon
curtains
Cheers - planning to spend a bit of time over coming days to clean it up and will post some better pics then.
Had a question regarding the di2 battery - I had the seatpost out yesterday, but the battery is not mounted in the bottom of it as expected, but only thrown down in the seat tube. Owner is telling me that Fairlight built it up for him, and he hasn't really touched the battery or had seatpost out. Is there any danger of the battery/wires getting damaged when just placed in the seat tube? I am thinking to buy the battery 'bung' and install the battery in the seatpost... as it usually is. Then again the current 'bodged' way would be nice for me because I have a canyon vcls split seatpost that I could use...
