Inspired by the Charging Case created by Turtle laboratories (https://turtlelaboratories.com/blogs/projects/portable-field-charging-box-for-isdt-q6-rc-charger) I decided to make my own field charging kit using the newly acquired ToolKitRC M8 smart charger. 4/15/19 It is all completed. works very well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Y0c616mqGE 2/20/19 Work in Progress have finished several of the files needed to complete my charging box, just waiting on some electronics BOM (02/20/18) Waterproof Storage Box: I got the Seahorse 300 but any with dimensions of about 24.10cm x 18.70cm x 10.40cm or larger would work.

One with 2 wires instead of three makes it easier to wire. Misc (screws, nuts and wire): M4 Hardware: https://www.banggood.com/custlink/3GGvdLAbHJ Your local hardware store may also be able to help you out with this. Wire I bought both 12awg and 14 awg wire from here: https://www.banggood.com/custlink/mvmDC84tJu I also got plenty of wire connectors like these: https://www.banggood.com/custlink/DDGvWS4VtN Parallel Board and Charging wires For Xt30: https://www.banggood.com/custlink/v3KDC94HAw I also have one of these multifunctional plugs, You never know when you might need a random plug. Out at the field a few weeks ago and my friend needed a traxxas plug. This saved the day: https://www.banggood.com/custlink/vDDmr8BVTl 2.5mm plywood: I had a scrap piece laying around that I used. Of course you can use acrylic, aluminum or any other sturdy material
