"Perhaps you've also wished for a better use for the battery holder that remains unused when using only a single 12V battery. I searched the internet for a while to see what was available, but couldn't find anything suitable, so I came up with my own solution. -- I got some plywood and the necessary parts for building a case and got to work. I then painted the box in my interior color and insulated the inside. The lid stays securely in place thanks to the latches. I screwed it into the existing holes for the battery mounting. Finally, I used my old MG badge. -- Maybe this will help or inspire some of you. Here are a few pictures". -- Best regards, Thomas
