Complete Weather Protection with Floating Capability
Dual side compression latches combine with an inner rubber gasket to seal off the interior from environmental factors.

Extended Battery Life with Emergency Backup
Powered by a standard 9V alkaline battery (not included), the LifePod 20 provides up to one year of battery life under normal use. The extended operation ensures reliable keypad and LED light access throughout long travel seasons without frequent battery replacement.
