Hey everyone. I’m on the hunt for a battery connection solution to create a secure but easy to swap battery. Similar to what you’d find on a Mavic. Has anyone had experience designing a system like this?
Most of those types of connectors are derived from the automotive industry, where vibration resistance is important. Blade-type power plugs are probably the most common and are very reliable.
The mechanical locking mechanism that keeps the battery in place is usually separate from the power connector and will probably require custom design and molding/3D printing for your application.

Looks like Digikey lists a lot of the good options in the backplane connectors category, like the Molex Ten60. A lot of these connectors are modular and can have any number of power and signal circuits if you look them up on the manufacturer website.
