Re: Competition pit station

A year ago we built a Battery Cart. It has 12 slots for batteries with charging ports right next to each one. At the time we have it with 2 3-Bank chargers and 3 1-Bank chargers. The origional plan was to upgrade it when we had more money to 4 3-Bank chargers, but it's not a high priority right now. The cart can be rolled in a vertical position (like a shipping dolly) or in a laying down position (like a cart). The handle is removable so that when you stand it up it can be stored inside the cover, which is also removable. It was made from 80/20, sheet metal, and a few machined parts here and there.

There is an album of it on facebook with some more detailed pictures. Feel free to ask any questions.

New Battery Cart
