Nice, Chet!  Good music too.  Who dat?

Also, make sure to buy the heat shrink connectors.  Non-heatshrink look very similar, but will not seal....

Thanks for the video tips: cloth protector, 600-700F and the shiny/gooey tip at the end.

The wide part of needle-nose pliers would work too, and those usually don't have any "teeth", so even less chance of damaging the cover...

All the backlog has been cleared.  I also successfully made the 18Ah battery that fit inside the same box it weight just a bit over 2lb. It was sold already a few days ago.

Upcoming: I have quite a bit of private messages regarding a battery box with USB chargers. What people want is a way to charge their phone and other accessories that use USB ports. Phone is running out of juice on the water or in the field, they need a way to replenish. 
Essentially, it's FF battery and a power bank combined. You can use it as a camping power source also. 
I am working on it.... stay tune.

Yes, he is. I placed my order last week. PM over Tapatalk never really worked for me either. I suggest using your browser on your phone or computer.

Due to newer bigger FF (7"-9" display) and multiple USB charging, the power consumption is a lot higher.
I need to up my load testing in the new Black Box. So far so good...

Here is my personal review of ChetÂ’s battery pack.

I was in the market for a solid lithium battery that would last me an entire weekend on the water and came across ChetÂ’s post. I decided to pull the trigger and get one from him because of everyoneÂ’s great feedback on it.

The battery is well made and well sealed that I do not have to worry about water getting into it. It is an Amazing battery!

I took it out last weekend for a camping trip and ran my Lowrance HDS 7 Live on high for 2 days of 8-10 hours a day. The battery still had enough juice for maybe another full day.

Chet is very professional and courteous and I recommend him to anyone who is in the market for a solid, well built and reliable lithium battery.

Here is mine.
