LiFe battery in a 4x2x2 battery compartment

 Somebody on RCGroups was asking about how LiFe batteries fit into receivers with a 4x2x2 battery compartment, similar to what's on a Turnigy 9x.  Here's some pictures of how it fits (summary: just right!).  There's no stress on the battery compartment cover when snapping it on, and just enough room for the wires.  Use the power connector that looks like a servo connector.

It fits nicely in this configuration, but the 9x power connector is blocked.  This may or may not affect you depending on your receiver's connector configuration.

Very impressive!

'Fly Electric' - 2.4GHz Receivers: "Technically, except for the converted receivers at the bottom of the list, all are based on the Cypress CYRF69103. The background colours in the table below indicate designs that are very similar. I have the bare PCB's"

One tiny piece, not too expensive.
