Heads up plastic battery/powerboard cases.

Found these at Duck Smuth. They are designed fo fit a powerboard and weatherproof, a must have for Star Parties to stop the inevitable RCD trips.

These cases cost just $20, they clip shut and are weathertight. They allso have decent seals around the generous cable entry/exit areas and a stainless bracket should you want to screw them to something..... PLUS... they have more than enough room to house one or more gel SLA's and plugpacks. See the image # 3 showing 2x7ah SLA's, there's still heaps of room for one or two powerboards, a charger and plugpacks. I'll be taking one to Astrofest instead of my usual powertank. At that price they should be mandatory at star parties.

But wait.... there's more, they also come with a generous area of sticky velcro in the bottom/back (#2) and a corresponding strip of sticky sided velcro (Ponders will not be able to resist )
