I can see it would be quite easy to add wheels and telescopic handle similar to a suitcase (but heavy duty).
Thanks for sharing it with us. Are you going to do a "How to" article for IIS?

Thanks Ian,
In my case I need the higher capacity for work too so I went for the larger battery.
I am looking into adding wheels and a handle like you say.
As for a DIY article I think it's best not to since it involves 240v power.
And even though it's from a 12v car battery it's still leathal.
But it's not hard just to use an inverter with a four way plug pack with a safety switch (RCD) built in. Just make sure you use a "grounding/earth stake" to the inverter earth and build a suitable box to keep the dew off it.
Cheers.
