Power Pack heart transplant

[Davey-T]

My Maplin power pack has been gradually deteriorating and while it would still run the mount for a few hours as soon as I  connected dew heaters it only lasted a couple of hours so I decided to replace the battery with a 

lith-ion one, blumming expensive but I didn't want to hump a lead acid one about. Bought new 100AH one for the camper van yesterday and could hardly lift it

Had to bin the tyre pump etc but never used it anyway and it made room inside to store power leads.

Had to butcher inside, as per pic's to make room , using an old steak knife bent at right angle and heated with propane torch and angle grinder, could probably do a better job now I've had a practice.

Stuck it back together to try, will fit amp meter and battery volt meter at some point.

Charged it up and have plugged in three dew bands on full wack to see how long it lasts.

Hmmm I've got one of these somewhere in the garage that died on me last year... Good idea
