Game Camera rechargable batteries are expensive and so are lithium batteries. So, I designed this to be an economical, easy to carry, compact means of powering game cameras with a reliable power source inside a weather proof container. (Not Waterproof).
As a comparison the Spypoint Edge uses the LIT-22 battery. $50+tax (https://a.co/d/8nZtS4E) It only provides 5.7Ah of power.
While my design utilizes the external power adapter and outputs 33.8Ah of power. Making those trips into the woods to swap batteries much father apart. Less disturbing the game!
Additional Parts Needed:
-OHOVIV 33800mAh Portable Charger Power Bank (https://a.co/d/fDGqJ61 , currently ~$20 when you check the amazon coupon)
-USB to DC adapter 5.5x2.1mm. (https://a.co/d/9gbfxVb , $8.43 for 3 cables)

Additional Weather Proofing Instructions:
- Squirt some silicone sealant at the end where the cable exits the case.
- Though the lid fits snuggly, you could take additonal steps to prevent moisture from entering the housing. Such as a bead of silicone to the outside of the lid where it meets the case. Do not put sealant in the lid or you may never get it to come apart.
Be creative
