Its so they can take it out of the van in cold weather fair enough...but they are a rip off imo. I have quick release connections on my pump same result for less dosh.
Not what Ben wanted to hear , but I agree with you. The one thing about a pump box though is that he can take the whole thing out a night to charge the battery. Trouble is that its heavy to lug a distance if you have parking problems, especially if you don't have to remove it in summer.
Again quick release terminals, oh and i only have the weight of my battery to take in!
what are the advantages of a battery box again?
I will admit they look good and if i were offered a mega cheap 2nd hand one (box only) i may be tempted, but i would still only take the battery in to charge!
