Cells dont fit

[joelsoleski]

I was at cabelas today and found this ammo box that’ll fit a 280ah battery perfectly with room to spare for a bms and such. I thought I would share because I’ve been struggling to find a box or 3D print file.

You think it’s rated for 80lbs of a 4s build?

Good point, but if it can handle 8 cases of .762/54 it should handle it.

Yeah ammo ain’t light

Heh… I picked up a military 20mm ammo case…
Holds 1500rounds… of .762 caliber… 120lbs…

Gotta love the army navy surplus store!

Yes, that is sitting in my full size office chair…

You got Mosin Nagant, RPK or Dragunov?

I’ve been searching various mil documents looking for a projectile box such as say a 30mm that would be big enough for a full 51.2v 280ah battery no dice so far but this is neat for the smaller batteries!

I have a few parking lot light cabinets. Huge, with a glass heat treated lens. Perfect size for 100Ah builds with a view.
