Performance
It delivers secure, weather-resistant storage. The spring-like O-ring seal resists dust and splashes—though not meant for full immersion. The integrated clip locks it into PALS and lets you open it in place. To drop a single CR123, squeeze the sides and it releases—smart and quick even upside down. Divider in bright orange aids quick sorting; remove it for bulk kit. Mounts vertical, tetherable front or back.

Final Thoughts
The CellVault XL is a simple, effective vault for spare batteries and compact essential kit. Smart deployment features and weather resistance make it reliable in tough environments. It isn’t ultra-sealed or silent with small cells—but its clip-on, squeeze-release design fills a tactical niche cleanly. Pack it full and deploy with intent.
