battery boxes.

How are they holding up for those using them?

We have not had any bad weather yet, but so far so good for me!

Mine is fine, but it does sit on my covered porch.  Also I have all my SSCs mounted under the eaves and not exposed to direct rainfall so all has been good for me.

Mine also sits under the covering for the porch but so far so good.  We had a bit of wind and rain this weekend the case was wet but dry as can be on the inside.

So far so good. The box is on the edge of my porch as well, but it has gotten wet with no water getting inside.  I wish I could say the same for the pixel strings.  And of course the pixels effected are always at the roof peak

Mine is setting out in the yard. It seems to be keeping the equipment dry so far but it's hard to tell until I can bring them in and check them out. It has rained and we also have a lot of heavy dew. I filled the little air holes on the top to keep water from sneaking in there.

I actually used gorrila tape to cover the vent holes in mine and so far so good with that as well.

Hot glue works and handled 10 below fine

[chrisatpsu]

i put electrical tape to cover the holes on the inside, then coated the holes on top with liquid electrical tape.

Is the PSU not getting the boxes hot? Haven't purchased mine yet but figured I'd need to rig up some kind of cover/shield that still allowed some air circulation while keepind direct water out (plan to put it under my front deck which is under a covered porch).

[MrChristmas2000]

Air is vented through 4 cable input holes that are pointed down.

I filled mine with gorilla glue because it expands to fill all the extra little holes.

Just wondering how the boxes will do with snow either on it or around the box.

Not an issue for me. It is plenty cold here and there is no insulation to the boxes.

Its been 70's here and I opened one of the boxes up during the show, it was barely above room temperature. I think the 80+ power supplies make a differnce too. I am using the one RJ used last year, its the Rosewill Green Series 630.

As for the vent holes, I used the mounting tabs for the straps, cut them, and then epoxied them over the vent holes in the top cover.

Opened mine last night to troubleshoot an issue.  I have two outside and this one is an old Sears box from what looks like 1976.  It has rained a lot here.  Inside was dry.  Temperature was good.  The show was running and the inside was maybe 80 or so as a guess.  Outside temp was in the 50's (unusual for us).  I could definitely tell that it was warm, but not hot.  Most of the feedback I got was from the air blowing out of the PSU from the built-in fan.
