Hi y'all! This is my first official post here so let me know if this is too spoiler-y to be posted out in the open, but I just wanted to share some ideas on the Ecto-Z gear I've seen floating around online after the van was present at Hook and Ladder 8 for the FE fan premiere.
I'm guessing by now you've seen the shots of the goodies inside from the 'gear up' TV spot released a while ago and one thing that caught my eye straight away were the red cables plugged into the packs.
Initially I assumed it was some kinda charging/diagnostic station, which might be confirmed by the fact that the cables run to these yellow boxes:
I found this and similar shots on Google, probably from when the van was rolled out at the fan event (which explains the possible stunt packs with the wibbly-wobbly thrower handles). I did a bit more hunting for close up pics from any nosey fans who, I'm sure like any of us, would be practically leaping into the back of the van like a raccoon smelling pizza cheese at the bottom of a dumpster. This is the best I've found so far:
Now based on my fervent research over the last few minutes I've found an almost perfect match in the form of the MAYPOLE MP716 12A BATTERY CHARGER
Granted, the shell is completely the wrong colour, but this is the only charger I've found whose switches and decals match the Ecto-Z ones. I think with some added stickers to the front, repainting the shell (or swapping it out with a yellow one available on other charger models) and holes drilled / fixtures added for the extra two cables on top, you'd have yourself a Pinfield-approved proton charging station.

Cheers. I'll keep hunting for a yellow variant, but for now it looks like painted was indeed the way they went.
