I'm not sure the exact brand. I robbed them off a junk battery case that I got from Will. They look very similar to the Futronics brand though.

Its their Compact Tool Box. Home Depot for $70.

How’s it feel loaded up?

It's pretty heavy. I can still carry it with one hand across the house maybe, but its not unusable.

3D Printed some mounts, and BAM. 500W inverter mounted into the top.

I have no idea what im going to use it for. But its cool lol.

 

[OffGridForGood]

Cool, but 500W is not going to run any sized tools ie no skillsaws with this portable power.
Good for lower wattage longer running items - lights and I-phone chargers during black-out, camping, smaller tool below 4A 120v, ie a dremel or similar.
With those big 300Ah cells, you can power 500W continuously for over seven hours!?

-put a nylon carry strap on that thing.

Yeah I wasn't looking for a high output system. I have those. This just seemed like it fit nice and I had all the components on the shelf.

The Milwaukee Packout has a built in handle that folds into the lid. Very robust.

Portable power. In its own cool looking carrying case! Very nice!

Sounds like a Tuition Bin project! Very nice.

How are the batteries held in place? Those pieces of foam? Does it shift at all?

 

[Supervstech]

Looks good to me.

 

[740GLE]

The invert cables seem way under sized ?

You do a voltage drop calculation?

 

[Lt.Dan]

Yeah just the foam. The box tapers a bit at the bottom and it's a damn near perfect fit. The foam just keeps from shifting etc.

You do a voltage drop calculation?

They are 4ga wires. Calculated voltage drop is only 0.15%, or 17mV drop at full load lol.
