I’m building one right now. I am almost exactly copying a video I watched on you tube (JDS Outdoors is the channel, check out his video on this box for a step by step build). I’ll be using mine for a flashlight, USB charging for phone, binding post for anything requiring 12v power but in my case I’m going to plug a few LED strips for my hub into it using a male banana plug. I still need switches. One will be main power, then the rest to the LEDs on the front, usb, and binding post. I’m going to install a momentary switch next to the volt meter so there won’t be a constant drain on the battery from the VM. All running through a little 4 way fuse block. I’m going to be using a 12v 12ah sla battery. The box is a Plano 1312 I believe. Compact and can hold a rather decent sized battery. For charging I plan on just opening the box and attaching my charger to the battery. I’ve thought about putting a dedicated charging port in but I don’t want any unnecessary holes and I would open it to charge it anyways so..... This will also come handy when camping season rolls around. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=torSEtjPZ2I <——Link to video (NOT ME).
