<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I took some info I collected and put together a
couple boxes this Christmas. They seem to work pretty well, and can
be as sophisticated as you want.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I bought old Ammo boxeswith hinged/removable
lids</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Put two banana jacks on one end</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Put a terminal strip inside -6block-Radio
Shack</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Put in small plastic box -Radio Shack</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Made up short #16 leads for four types of
connectors plus a set of banana jacks ( 1-universal for Rxs.,3 Electric battery
connectors )</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Put grommets in box top, and Banana jacks and
ran wires in to connect to terminals-</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Put top on plastic box and you are
done</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Then</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Made up two sand bags for bottom of
box</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Each one out of double bags</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Filled inner one with dry sand--</FONT><FONT
face=Arial size=2>wound up about 2 in. thick</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Charge with lid on</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> If they do go off ===plastic melts--
batteries in sand--absorbs heat-slows down rate -tight lid sorta smothers fire,
at least slows it down. Ammo box heavy enuff to contain most sizes we
use.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We store the charged batteries in the same
box</FONT></DIV>
