Very cool box in May. You should keep the old box and just try and find a battery. It’ll fit in the old box as well.

Just about to do this with a little Apache 1800 box battery! Was debating between then 1800 or 2800 to go with for size of battery

I’m doing something similar. I’m going to be building a battery pack holder that connects Dewalt cell packs to a DC/DC buck converter then to a distribution panel. It should be super light and roughly the size of a shoebox. I’m working on 3D prints for the box and connectors today. I expect the entire system to cost about $100 and give me 20amp hours. The Dewalt cells charge super fast and I can always have several in reserve.

Nice, if you don’t mind the size and weight 19 AH AGM batteries can be had from ~$60-80

I made something for a tiny battery to use for my Garmin fish finder. The marine battery I was using was way too powerful for the small wires . Went looking for a small battery box for the little battery and seen harbor freight had those boxes and I realized I had a few laying around. Gonna be nice saving a ton of weight in my boat

This is exactly what I've been looking for. Great no nonsense video, with a clean finished build. Would you recommend adding silicon to the cutouts in order to keep things as water tight as possible? Is there anything you would change after using it for a while?

I put a sonar fish finder, marine radio and breaker switches to control the 12 volt system on my boat using this box. Harbor Freight. All my switches are on the inside. Two 12 volt batteries below deck plug into the back side where the hinges are. Hmmmm....Now Im thinking my box is a little bigger. Anyway....the box can be taken off the boat for winter. I just thought of something...........a man overboard switch.

I built one with 18650s that didn't have that big of capacity in a 2800 size box that's 7s and I think 9p it's 585Wh with a 500w inverter and a couple USB ports and a buck converter for 12ish volts in some 2.1mmX5.5mm jacks and I have started on a big one in I think the 5800 maybe it's the 4800 I don't know it does have the wheels but I got some higher capacity cells for that and it is like 1.3Kw battery but the inverters I keep getting keep blowing up but my goal was to power a 120v inverter based flux core welder which I think a good 2000w inverter should be fine I mean it only has a 15A plug but it's the space constraints and that cheap Chinese inverters lie

New to battery boxes. My question is what can these be used for and how Telford you recharge them? I like to fish and camp, so are these good for recharging cell phones? Or plugging in my ninja foodies? What about an air conditioner while camping? Any tips of exactly what these can do would be great.

I'm just a redneck that likes hunting and fishing. I use mine for my fishing graph and charging my phone with the 23ah battery I bought. It very easy to charge, simply hook up the charger to the red and black pins on top

how do you charge it? through the banana posts? Also, do you worry about charging a lifepo battery without a bms? Im working on piecing together a build like this but with a few extra charge posts (tbd) and some marine speakers. Right now the hardest thing to look for and trust are batteries.

I charge through the posts. I called and talked to a Dakota Lithium tech and he said no worries on charging in the case.

does it float by any chance? I want one for running a trolling motor on my kayak. It would be nice if it didn't sink. any ideas about that?
@ScottHillOutdoors2 жыл бұрын
It's sealed pretty tight minus the parts I put on. I also added foam inside to lock in the battery. It would definitely float long enough to secure if flipped.
