Garmin’s Tip of the Month, May 2012

I needed a way to carry my batteries home at the end of the season and found these laundry soap buckets are perfect for the task. They have handles that make them easy to carry, and they also protect the carpeted floor in my SUV. This year I added some short jumpers and terminals to the lids so I can hook them to the Battery Tender without removing them from the buckets. A few small holes drilled in the top allow any gases to be vented.
