Nice neat setup.
Pity i couldnt find a cheap pelican case in the past.
Have atrtached a piccy of what i made out of old jarrah floorboards.
It holds a 40 and a 20Ahr battery at the bottom ( plus spare leads )
and a microprocessor that shows voltage and current at the top.
The five small std DC connectors at one end are individually fused and the big grunter connection at the other isnt ( as i use inline fuses )
One thing i did was use Amphenol connectors for the heavy current as
a) They are locking,
b) I had some :-)
I then use Anderson connectors to allow me to swap what sort of lead i want to use. Expensive, but there is no way i can reverse polarity on anything after i have set it up.
