X3.. But to make it even easier/better, grab yourself a package of assorted sized rubber grommets from Home Depot or harbor freight tools. Drill your hole, squeeze rubber grommet in hole, run wires through grommet, then goop. I've been using this method with no issues for years now...

For the actual connection to batteries, go to your local OEX, pick up some 2 pin marine connectors. You can attach these to the battery itself, the lead wires, and your charger.. makes plugging/ unplugging and charging a breeze. I coat the connections on the battery with goop as well.

Have you looked here for a case? They have some of the best prices out there on them. http://www.pelican-case.com/?utm_sou...ign=Ad_Group_1

Just add your connector like the one shown in the middle photo!
