In this video, I custom build a robust power bank for my camping trips and outings. very handy to charge my phone, GoPro batteries, or to power a light or accessories.
during the filming of this video and the jump cut editing, you may or may not have heard or seen the fuses used.
for the USB socket, a 5 amp maxi blade fuse and holder was used, and for the 12v accessory socket, a 7.5 amp maxi blade fuse was used

For this long video feature I show my steps of building this one off power bank from a polypropylene ammo box that I purchased along with all the necessary component parts needed as I enjoy the creative aspect over factory made units that are not that service friendly.
