MinnKota portable power box

[MrNatural22]

I’ve had this minnkota box for my trolling motor battery. I no longer have the boat or motor so, I removed the Wally World group 27 lead acid battery that weighs about 500...er 50 lbs ?️‍lol (still a good battery) and replaced it with a 55ah LiFePo I’ve got and dam! what a difference from 50? Down to 15lbs?!! Weighs about as much as a 12 pack of brew.
Using a volt/temp/usb use current meter adapter in one of two standard 12v accessory outlets leaving one for other 12v needs and now I’ve got lightweight portable camping power box. It has two circuit breakers built in, one 10a for the accessory outlets and one 60a for the external power connections. You then connect your solar CC or shore power charger to the - + large external power connections for recharge, that the trolling motor formerly used to connect to.
Now I have a rainproof 55ah power box. (First removing the USB adapter of course)
Next I want to mount a 800w inverter on the side for a/c power.
These Mikita boxes are around $55-60 on Amazon.
