The housing may comprise a top portion connected to a bottom portion by at least one hinge, and a gasket may be disposed between the top portion and the bottom portion to inhibit moisture from entering the housing. At least one clasp may be disposed on a side of the housing opposite the at least one hinge, the at least one clasp being configured to maintain the housing in a closed position without the use of tools. An attachment bracket may be provided that is releasably connected to the housing. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A portable power device comprising: a housing configured to contain an internal power supply, the housing having a top portion connected to a bottom portion by at least one hinge, at least one clasp disposed on a side of the housing opposite the at least one hinge, the at least one clasp configured to maintain the housing in a closed position without the use of tools; an attachment bracket releasably connected to the housing by interference fit, wherein the attachment bracket is configured to be mounted to a surface such that the housing may be secured to the surface by the attachment bracket; at least one strap anchor configured as a T-shaped protrusion attached to the bottom portion of the housing; and an attachment strap releasably connected to the housing and attachable to the at least one strap anchor via an opening configured to receive the T-shaped protrusion to secure the housing to an object; wherein when the attachment strap is releasably secured to the object and attached to the at least one strap anchor, the top portion is operable to move about the at least one hinge such that the internal power supply may be accessible. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The portable power device of claim 1, wherein the at least one strap anchor includes a pair of strap anchors. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The portable power device of claim 2, wherein the pair of strap anchors are both provided on the bottom portion. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The portable power device of claim 1, wherein the at least one strap anchor is integral with the housing. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The portable power device of claim 1 further comprising: an internal power supply connector configured to receive power from the internal power supply within the housing; an output configured to receive power from the internal power supply; a control circuit between the internal power supply connector and the output. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The portable power device of claim 5, wherein the internal power supply connector is configured to connect to one or more batteries. ### Claim 7 (depends on 5) The portable power device of claim 5 further comprising an illumination device connected to the output, wherein the illumination device includes a plurality of light sources powered by the internal power supply. ### Claim 8 (depends on 5) The portable power device of claim 5 further comprising: an external power supply connector configured to receive power from an external power supply; the output configured to selectively receive power from the internal power supply or the external power supply; a control circuit between the external power supply connector and the output. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The portable power device of claim 8 further comprising an illumination device connected to the output, wherein the illumination device includes a plurality of light sources powered by the external power supply. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The portable power device of claim 8, wherein the external power supply connector is a USB or micro-USB port. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The portable power device of claim 1, further comprising a gasket disposed between the top portion and the bottom portion to inhibit moisture from entering the housing.
