I want to share the satisfying feeling I got when I received a random waterproof case I ordered online (based on specs only) to fit a 10p12s battery I'm putting together.

TBH, I had to shave off the top interlocking bits of the battery spacers, but still....

Got this from a fishing store here in Brazil, for something like 8 trumps, so it was worth the bet:

should the listing be offline, the item description, for future reference, is "Estojo Impermeável Com Vedação - En495" (270 x 220 x 80mm -- outside)

yeah, I know... the color... nothing some paint (or duct tape) can't fix.

I will use 0.3mm cooper strips as bus bars and 28 awg enamel wire soldered to the cells (to act as fuses). I reckon it will be a tight fit, and the adaptto BMS probably will have to be mounted outside, but it seems totally doable at this stage. Some kind of bump protection may be added outside.
