Battery bag

[Mathurin]

Yeah, so I decided the SLA tied together with a strap and layed on a sheet of cardboard needed something better. It's a shure bet it was gonna fail me eventually, and what about the cold?


So I chopped up the really thick packing box into a battery case,
with dual bottom layer. Routed the wires cleanly, too.

Then I sealed it shut using handyman's secret weapon. Lots of it.

Sealed that in a mostly water tight bag.

And put that into the carrying case. Voila!

Edit: weighs 31lbs

Very nice, you do have an airspace for the batteries to vent also when you recharge them? Meaning, this isn't "air tight" so to speak.

 

[Mathurin]

Yeah, it's breathable.

the cable goes upwards under the duck tape for a while, so if the thing gets soacked water shouldn't get in.

Red green would be proud. Although I'm disappointed you didn't make your own bag.

Good point, the title is sorta deceptive.
Bet I coulda made a better bag outa old jeans, too.


I do have a duck tape wallet though, this is my second one:
