With the help of several forum members, despite some charger issues, my new LiPO4 pack is up and running and delivering excellent performance thus far.
But the LiPO4 pack is in one single bulky package and not in the handy split arrangement my SLA's were. This resulted in a difficult mounting situation behind the seat and centered over a rack rather than either side the way the SLA's mounted.
Mostly this also meant there was no weather protection and a little rain would have likely been disastrous. Hopefully I'll either build a custom case myself or search for a plastic container of some sort at Wally World but in the meantime I needed something. This is Florida and even though it's not the rainy season it still rains and I still get caught in it.
So using a priority mail shipping box I covered it with tin foil to make it water proof and then Xysterized it to make it weather proof. It will certainly last until I get something else perhaps more attractive. Then again I kinda like the stealth appearance it presents.
