Homemade external battery pack for trail camera

[@barntt]

Add a fuse to protect the equipment. Get a pair of female insulated spade connectors the proper size for the positive wire in use and at the positive post of the battery cut the positive wire and crimp on both female insulated spade connectors. Slide a female insulated spade connector onto each leg of the properly sized ATO fuse. Done! Equipment protected! Any chance of a fire now reduced by 99% Thanks for this video man.

Can you send me a diagram of this??

I noticed you have 2 bolts sticking through the side of the box. I assume these are to connect the wires that go to the camera. How are you connecting the wires to the bolts?

+ToothMolar round terminal plugs

Do you have a part number for the 6v solar panel? And how did this setup work for you?

[@MattPatterson1411]

No part number. Pretty much any 6v panel made for a deer feeder will work.

[@muddy_armadillo]

So could you put more than just the 2 batteries in there?

[@MattPatterson1411]

Yes

[@quiet-wolf]

What kind of wires did you use and where can I get them? Are they awailable on amazon?

[@MattPatterson1411]

Heavy speaker wire should work. Yes you can get it on Amazon
