I needed a large battery case with Anderson Powerpole adapters. Bought an inexpensive plate off Amazon and added to it to make this end plate that fits on the end of a plastic .50 caliber ammo box with a little extra storage space inside for battery cables, etc. I have a sealed lead acid battery but if you can afford a LiFePo it would be even lighter and easier to transport.
Printed portions include the main end plate plus 2 Anderson end connectors and 3 Anderson center connectors. I design using OpenSCAD which is free to download and use. The source file is included here.
Here is the link to the Amazon piece that gives you all the gauges and adapters for under $17:
Prewired 3 in 1 Cigarette Lighter Socket, Dual USB Socket, LED Voltage Display and Toggle Switch

Plastic 50-caliber Ammo Can (about $14):

In addition you'll need 8 Anderson Powerpoles, 5 3mm x 8 screws to hold the Andersons in and 8 small bolts or pop-rivets to attach the plate to your box.
I put the plate on the end under the latches to prevent them from being bumped when moving it.
