Hi guys

With an increasing number of lipos in my possesion, I want to tidy things up and want to know what cases you guys use.

I'd like something I can lift the lid up and find my car/heli cells right there, all snugly and safe. Made of either ali of hard bastard plastic.
Where from etc?

Recommendations please

muchos gracias

I use a steel, barn style tool box.

I have smaller tins inside to keep the cells in.

Ammo box sounds a good idea though.

Ammunition box from your local Army Surplus store...about £10 buys a decent size one..

Good idea guys, and cheap, but, what do you for separation? I don't wont to just bung all my packs in there willy nilly like a toy box. And cos of the box' shape, I'd need trays on levels.

Keep the boxes the cells come in when new and draw/paint an arrow on each one, then paint two arrows on the top of the ammo box pointing in opposite directions. Label one for fully charged and one for storage charged.

The cell boxes separate all the cells and you can tell at a glance which ones are ready for use when at the track or getting ready to go racing.

I use a stanley fatmax as a hauler bag remove the dividers and i can safely fit 4 sets of batteries on the left and right side.

Very tough and durable

ammunition box is great for storage, i use a sheet of fairly stiff foam with cutouts for cells in, which drop into the ammo box, this allows for several seperate layers for long term storage
