Rainman,
You can make a Y shaped connector that can either go the recharger or to the light. Then your battery can just stay in the bag. When you arrive, just swap the leads to recharge.
Building on your idea...For condensation, you could make your own vents in places that cannot take on water. Or try those Ziploc Veggie bags. Or a marine store has stuff to nix water from boat cabins.
Here's an except:

>Ziploc Vegetable Bags...each bag contains hundreds of freshness vents that are designed to let excess moisture out, while holding in the right amount of moisture.
Your bracket sounds similar to mine but I used that pipe aluminum. Wonder if it can retrofit the switch...zzz tomorrow!
