It seems to me no matter how well you build the battery box you can always get moisture in there when you go to change batteries in the cave with wet hands. I always leave mine open after each trip at home to make sure it stays dry. I guess that is why I have been using the same AA pack for 18 years. Try not to make one where the box door swings open like the HP-10 because that makes it harder to hard mount. Or try not to make it like The Apex where the wire is connected to the piece that slides out of the box. The Duo box is nice because you can change batteries without taking the Ecrin off. Something other than a recessed switch makes it easier to find with gloves on. Not sure if any of those suggestions are possible to keep it in that price range but if it is I would do so.
It only takes one person to surrender a dog to a kill shelter ,but it takes many to rescue it.
