H Battery Compartment

[Drone On]

Ever since I got my H (2 months ago) I always felt when installing the battery it was kind of tight. I have to give it a little extra push to get it to seat and lock in. The battery on my Q500 slid in easy and seated with no problem. I never though anything of it. I just thought that's how it's supposed to be on the H. Today I took a look inside the battery compartment on the H and found that the rubber that goes around the circuit board has come loose on top and is getting pinched between the battery and the contact seat every time I slide the battery in. I attached a picture of the battery comartment and you can see the rubber sticking up. I guess I'll have to try and glue it down. Does anyone else have this issue?

Haven't seen that before but then again have never looked that hard inside the battery compartment. Good catch and a new inspection point!

What you are looking at is the rubber support of the ultrasonic sensors, it is not glued, it just sits in place.

The lower tabs are applying pressure to the bottom of the rubber, deforming the whole piece upwards, directly obstructing between the contacts and the battery. This tabs are part of the lower air frame, if you sent your unit for repairs then it was improperly reassembled or could have been during manufacture.

The rubber itself is very soft to touch, and it could've been already deformed from the constant pinching, but perhaps it just needs a slight adjustment of the lower air frame to sit properly. (not very hard, requires to remove a total of 15 screws)

Sorry about messy layout of the next image but I just improvised

Top left: The ultrasonic sensors with the the rubber support.
Top right: propper rubber seating (green line represents shape)
Bottom left: Your picture, showing incorrect seating (orange represents deformation, red arrows represent the upwards force from the tabs)
Bottom Right: Location of the tabs on the lower airframe

Here's the same picture without the lines for more detail:

Jules TEO. Thanks for the info. It came like that from the factory. The rubber got deformed from being pinched every time I put the battery in. I fix it by putting a dab of super glue on a tongue depressor. I was able to get down in there and get the glue on the rubber. I held it in place for a minutes. Good as new and I don't have to worry about it coming loose again.
