Night Vision How do you attach your battery pack to your rail?

[TheHorta]

I've been using zip ties or rubber bands if not attaching it semi-permanently, but I'd like something like a rail pouch or something that'll affix either to the Pic rail, Mlok, Keymod or perhaps just some Velcro straps.

Something a little more "elegant" than zip ties.

I glued a short Pic rail to the battery pack and use either

Dual Pic Rail Adapter

or in the case of the M300W I use, the Wilcox flip adapter serves the purpose, as I use a DLOC to attach the M300W. Now the pack is on the device rather than the rifle.

Using it for the UTC’s.

That dual adapter seems like it would sit a fair bit away from the rail. I was hoping for something to make it almost flush, but a little better looking than zip ties (which I don’t mind). I was thinking something like a counterweight pouch that maybe had Mlok / Keymode fittings or some form of Pic rail grabber. Something low profile.

according to some family members you can do almost anything with enough of this stuff unless your bothered by the looks

rain damp it don't matter it will hold anything almost . and its pretty cheap add in some

and your set for any disaster . this could also come in handy

turns into a cement like substance after just a few minutes of chewing .

Admittedly, I haven't tried it yet, but this might work with some shimmer 30mm rings attached to a side pic rail...

Putting mine on the stock or scope itself but same concept.....heavy duty Velcro on the battery pack and rifle to keep from moving then use 12” Velcro strap to really cinch it down....got a bulk pack of those off Amazon

I bought an apex 3d mlok Mount for my 10K. I think they have smaller ones, I’m pretty happy with it. I really want to get a printer for situations like this

if you can get a longer cable, i'd route it back to the buttstock to keep the gun balanced. it'd be easy to route a pouch onto a buttstock

The LEMO cables included with all the Trijicon/BAE stuff are plenty long enough. Would be cool to design a custom AR stock that integrates a rechargeable 10K+ battery.

 

[jeffl838]

Yeah I agree. If you're cool with not being able to collapse your buttstock, there could be a 5000mah hole in a carbine stock in the fully extended position.

Maybe trucknuts for your AR, but deez nuts are filled with lithium ion goodness.

I mount my ankers directly to some stuff with large pieces of 3m Velcro on both surfaces

But for mounting to rail... Here are a couple options

Retail option from tnvc works well and some of the optional cables are fairly cheap to buy along with as they already made their money on the kit I believe

TNVC Thermal Remote Battery (TRB)

Universal Rechargeable Battery System for Thermal Devices

tnvc.com

Arts and crafts option
Anker battery and a black hawk light mount. Heat shrink around the battery to give some shock absorption and a no slip fit as well a heat shrink boot to help cover the cable to battery connection and keep it clean and covered

 

[CoryT]

Use the Vltor stock and take the battery/storage compartment off the far side and glue in one of the round USB power packs, should be pretty clean

I did an ar mag pouch on my 6.5 grendel ar15 for a hog hunt I did. I borrowed an ATN for the hunt and needed a way to mount the battery
