Multi-Battery charging station

This configuration can save some space and electrical outlets.

Tools used: Roto-tool (dremel), saw, drill, glue-gun, soldering iron.

I used a roto-tool to remove the plastic covers from the wall chargers. I only had 6 so that's why there are 6 ports.
Cat-5 cable for thin wire for led and port extensions.
Scrap wood for the box (this is cedar)

Not difficult but definitely time consuming.

LOL, thanks. I got tired of trying to find outlets to plug my chargers into. I agree that wood is probably not the best material, but it's easy to work with and I don't have any plastic boxes lying about.

You really should look into battery modding.

Why I'm not a handyman ?

LOL Bastage, thanks, but I've already built 4 of Maddog's magnum mods (2x 901 2x 801), and a few USB passthroughs. I had my first 801 battery die this week, so I ripped it apart and tried to use the vaccum switch to build a switch-activated passthrough.
What a B*%#H! All those titty-bitty wires are a bugger to solder. I finally gave up after I got it all back together and couldn't get enough vaccum to activate the darn thing. Tore it all apart again, soldered a manual switch on and threw it back together.. 10 minutes versus 4 hours. I'll probably try again since I'm a die-hard and hate it when I can't get something working the way I think it should.
