We've made it simple for you to source your own parts to build your own external battery box and use a 12v 12ah SLA battery for extended use of your Tactacam Reveal and Reveal X.

Includes the parts used to assemble an external battery box. There are no instructions and it is assumed the user has knowledge of how to construct a battery box.

Included: One HD Tactical Style Box with Pick-n-Pluck foam, one Chew Proof Power Cable with 4.0x1.7mm DC Plug, Two F2 Female Connectors and Waterproof Cable Gland

For a rechargeable battery I recommend Power Sonic 12v 12ah or the Neptune 15ah for SLA batteries. Or the Amped Outdoors 12v 20ah Lithium battery found on our website. The cheapest place to buy them is ebay  and you can get a two pack to always have a charged battery ready to swap in.

Use a 3/8 Gland

Recently purchased 5 of the DIY kits. They work great. Save yourself a lot of hassle and use a 3/8" wire gland instead of the 1/4" gland supplied with the kit. It will not require you to cut of the terminals and solder new ones back on as suggested in the tutorial vidoeo.

Thank you for your purchase and taking time to leave a review and for your suggestions. The pg7 gland is the only one I found to have a really good watertight seal. All the sizes above it I found to be slightly loose. You really should check out our Elite kit. It's heads and shoulders above the one you bought. https://youtu.be/jFxAekzaxv8?feature=shared

DIY Battery Boxes are awesome!!

Bought 2 battery box kits for my Reveal cams. Here’s what I can say - the quality of the box and power cable components is top notch. Very easy to put everything together. Just watch Mike’s YouTube tutorial. Great value for the price! Can’t wait to get my cams out and not have to touch them for the whole year. And… no more buying single use AA’s. Thanks for a quality product at a great price! Will be buying more.

Thank you David. I really appreciate the feedback.

Best product

This is by far the best thing I’ve bought for my reveal x pro. My camera is back up in the trees where sunlight is minimal so a solar panel wasn’t really optimal for my situation but the battery box was perfect for me and saves me the trip of having to change batteries all the time.
Thanks

Thank you Taylor for taking the time to leave a review.
