How did you attach the box to the rack? I found that plastic boxes end up cracking far too easily when I drill through them and anchor them down to something...I solved this by going to outdoor conduit. See my setup on page 43.
Where did you get the 7AH gel cell? Are you happy with how it works?
I used 4 tie wraps. I'm really looking for some other more removable method, but I had these in the parts box. I lined the box with 1/2" closed cell foam, I'm hoping that this will reduce the vibration form the battery, and reduce cracking of the plastic.
I just bought the battery and charger at the "Battery Store". If I like the way the lights work I'm planning on an upgrade to NiCd or NiMH at some point. Not enough experience yet to form an opinion on how it's working. Only about 1/2 hour on it so far.
