Default RE: Where to get a field box?

i bought one of the black and decker rolling two piece tool boxes and used my power panel in the side of that also holds a gallon of fuel in the bottom section and has plenty of storage space in the top.i was using one of those 12 volt dry telephone batterys in the bottom,i had a brainfart and got a booster battery they use for cars from Sam's club with the jumper cables,i took it apart and put female banana plugs and now i use it as a power supply for my starter and also plug it into the power panel when needed.i didn't like the idea of charging the dry battery and it was in the same location as the fuel but other side with a partition in between them removing and installing the 12 volt battery got to be a hassel.the 12 volt booster has 200 cranking amps and that runs my starter really well,it also has a built in 20 amp fuse in case of an overload.if anyone is interested i will make a few photos and post them.it was pretty simple to add the female banana plugs in the side of it.i have seen a lot of pictures posted here of the modified tool boxes,here is the post address.
