Finally get the battery box sealed up and ready to get in the car. I'm glad to see this finally done.

Great work…the battery box really looks like the biggest time consuming job! 😊

I think next time I'd look at doing some 3D scanning and design something to be CNC'd

Are you going to build another box for your little helper there? You could power it with cuteness instead 😊. Solid build, do you think it would have been possible to have a flange on the lid to protect the edge from water ingress even more?

[@JamieJones1985]

My skills and tools are limiting what's possible. If I do another ill get it 3D scanned and get the metal work laser cut or something
