    To combat some COVID code red restriction boredom, I put together some 12v Portable Power Boxes. I've been building power boxes for myself and buddies for 25+ years!

    Made using a medium sized ammo box, all 16 gauge wiring, 12v cig socket, dual 2.1a USB's, binding post connection, lighted switch, voltage gauge and 15 amp fused battery lead with charger connection. Use it to run 12v equipment (lights, fans, sonar), power USB items and charge your cell phone.

    Ready to connect your own battery, fits up to a 15 ah SLA or up to the 30 ah LiFePO4 (30ah wide model).

    Seems the going rate in store for a basic power box is between $120 and $150 plus tax, buy mine $70 PM if interested, can arrange contactless transaction!

    I have them in mine, I've done many with, sold and older one to Cam with one. The glow pot adds about $45 bucks to the build,,,,,,,they're not cheap but I can easily do! They are not that popular.....many won't pay the extra for it.

    $70 is very reasonable. You’d spend close to that buying the component parts from Amazon.

    Looks like you riveted the power outlet plate into place vs screws. That makes for a cleaner interior with no screws to poke your hands or wiring.

    1.25", fits rattle baits like a med sized Live Target and other baits like a med sized Chubby Darter. I've also used it while laying larger baits overtop, you have to flip them to do the other side just like a good steak!

    I’ll grab one Cliff. Don’t need the glow charger. Looks like this will help with winter camping.
