BuckRail ANKER NANO Rail-Mount Battery Cradle for Chronographs & NV Devices
£35.00
A sensible way to power clever electronics without zip-ties, tape, or regret.
This is BuckRail doing what BuckRail does best: taking a very good idea and executing it properly in sinter-printed nylon. This cradle is designed specifically to hold the ANKER NANO power bank, which has quietly become one of the most impressive compact battery solutions on the market, and turn it into a clean, weapon-mounted power source.
It is intended for running NateChrony and BuckChrony systems, but it also works perfectly as a backup power supply for night vision or thermal devices where a small, reliable USB-C battery makes sense and weight matters.
The cradle mounts directly to Picatinny or M-LOK, and BuckRail sensibly includes a Velcro retention strap for users who want additional security or alternative mounting options on awkward platforms.
The ANKER Nano installs from the side, snapping between the flexible nylon arms and locking in place securely. Once fitted, the USB-C output port and status button remain fully accessible, so you can actually use the thing without removing it every time.
Important note, and this is not optional advice:
Do not try to force the battery in from the front. That is how you snap the retention arms and then blame the internet.

Important Information About 3D Printed Products
Why 3D Printing?
3D printing offers several key advantages, making it an excellent choice for creating innovative, functional products:
- Speed: Products can be produced quickly and efficiently, allowing for rapid prototyping and faster delivery.
- Lightweight Design: 3D printing uses less material, resulting in lighter components while maintaining functionality.
- Additive Manufacturing: This method allows for complex features and designs that traditional subtractive manufacturing cannot achieve, enabling more flexibility in product development.
Important Considerations
While 3D printed parts come with many benefits, they are typically more fragile than their traditionally manufactured counterparts. This means the product requires mechanical sympathy—careful handling and use. These parts are not expected to last as long as non-3D printed components, so it’s important to treat them with care.
Warranty Information
Warranty on 3D printed products is limited and depends on how well the part is maintained. To extend the life of your product, we recommend:
- Safe Handling: Avoid excessive force or impact.
- Protection from Moisture: Keep the product dry to prevent damage.
- Avoid High Temperatures: Prolonged exposure to heat can weaken the material.
- Limit UV Exposure: Avoid long periods of direct sunlight, as UV rays can degrade the material.
By following these guidelines, you can prolong the life of your 3D-printed product and enjoy its unique benefits!
