NATO Battery Can

[Joaquin Suavve]

I have a bunch of NATO Jerry cans from my decades of exploring Latin America in my 4X4 camper and decided to "design" one into a Ebike battery storage/ charging/ travel box. I wanted to share some pictures of the little "Peccadillo's" I added to my travel battery box for convenience:

I added D-rings to the side of the spout so that the box can be locked closed & cable locked to the vehicle.



I added a retractable key fob to hold the key for the battery (to bike) lock.



You can also see the small/ tight rubberized slot for the charger cable on the right side of the hinge.
