Thanks,
Rob

Do both pieces come together when purchased?

Or is the part w/handle something seperate from the tile?
Where would we find that part?

On another note. I use a $10 metal cash type lock box I got a walmart or where ever. Best thing is its RTF.

You should see my keyboard after I read the message with the question - where do I buy it? .

For a 'moderator' to post such a crass message is in very poor taste!
Just posting some pictures with NO details invites questions as to how to build it & where to get the supplies.

So jump off your high horse & view it as those who see it like a newbie.

Status: online 		For what it's worth, I use a pair of cinderblocks/cement blocks sitting on a concrete basement/garage floor. The ones with three sections give you three nice compartments for the batteries and the second block gives you a good cover/lid with pressure relief. To charge I just sit the top block a little to one side to allow the connecting wires to pass through.
It isn't pretty but it is cheap and, I believe, just as effective as many other methods I have seen.

Probably more so when you consider Li Ion are in a sealed metallic can. When they let go they have a lot more pressure to contend with, just like Ni-cds or Ni-Mh. Yes, all of these have some kind of safety vent, but the vent may get clogged with molten separator and disabled - then you are looking at something like a 300 psi burst.

Could you be a little more specific on how you do this? Does it matter if they are cinder or cement blocks, would ones with just two sections work? If I have one cinder block and one cement block which should be on top? For the humor challenged and those with single digit IQs I am kidding of course!

I've had a couple ARF's made from cinder / cement that I could use for this purpose.

Now if I can find someone to build them for me. .
