Does any have pictures of how you store and transport your batteries to the field
Thanks

I carry my batteries to the field in a convenient carrying case. Nothing special.

Big cheap lipo safe bag, if you care to not burn your house down , why take chances in your car.

Last season, I started to use this Milwaukee Tool bag for the packs...

It's long enough for the 12S sticks and long battery trays with large single packs which overhang the trays. I don't normally need to carry more that it can easily accomodate. It has pockets for the cell checker, temp gun, ESC program box, and digital pitch gauge - which are all a bit too big to go inside my tool tray. It's a nicely made rugged bag. Not too pricey. $20.

In a domke camera bag, capacity for 12 6s5000 enuf for 6 flights. On top of lipos in vcontrol in mikado soft case before closing bag lid.

Good reason not to buy an electric car - Lol (I couldn't resist)

Stick packs I carry in one of these. Partial seal removed so it doesn't turn into a bomb if a LiPo goes up inside it. Fits at least 6 12-14s sticks, maybe 8 if you have smaller, thinner packs, including the trays (Specter V1/V2 including quick connect, Protos 700, and Tron 7.0 I have used with it so far)

For regular packs I use a smaller ammo can... got it too long ago to know the size/where I got it.

.50 cal ammo tin but from my van to where I fly is a fair walk so they go in a rucksack.

I store, charge and transport in a BatSafe.

Admittedly when transporting I fill a mid size one with 3 6S 5000mAh, 2 2S 2200mah, 3 3S 4300mAh, which is only rated for 2 6s 5000mAh.
