I'm happy to help if needed, The soldering is the easy part, for me it's
been difficult to locate quality connectors without going way overkill...
Is this being run off of a transformer connected to the gen?
If so, would you have any interest in converting it to run off of a 12v
battery?
Take one of the smaller ammo cans, I can check what caliber was stored in
the one I have. Drill a hole in the back to secure a marine grade cig
lighter socket, then inside you wire up two 7Ah sealed lead acid batteries
to be in parallel. add a layer of foam rubber to the sides and bottom, and
put a spacer between the batteries or even just add a piece of the foam
rubber to the top of one batt, slide them in the box top to top and you
have a portable 14Ah pack. Then you can set it under the table and have a
pigtail that leaves enough length to go straight up and leave a little
slack for shifting it around when necessary.
I know I try to open mine up while they are in use but so far I've never
had a problem when I've left it closed. You just have to be sure it is open
while charging.
If you managed to actually keep people from approaching you could even add
a solar panel to it...
Anyways, Just a few thoughts, I'm in Hawthorne and can go pretty much
anywhere within say a 30-45 minute drive pretty much anytime during the
day, My only goal is to stay out of rush hour traffic.
