Default 6v jumper pack

Well This past Sunday was a rainy day up here in the northeast. Never letting a day go by without accomplishing anything, I decided to build a jumper pack for 6Volt. I have four 6v cars and on occasion a 6v jump is needed. Also nice security when on the road is something goes wrong I can at least try to get to a safe port. Using a Optima 6 Volt battery (expensive) but worth the price in my view I get about ten years out of them. I built this box carrier, it's safe to carry around in you vehicle and give plenty of cranking amps for a jump start. Used some scrap plywood and a one " dowel. Found a can of red paint to top it off. I had a few old 12v packs so I cut off the wires and used two battery post connectors (cheap). I'm thinking to share this as it may be of interest to others. It took about one hour to put together. there is one screw holding the dowel in place should you desire to remove the battery. Just remove the screw push the dowel aside and you can just pop out the battery.
