Nice Setups there...
Here's an idea. How about gutting both the tekin and Pitbull and installing the innards on a single enclosure?
I also use the same chargers except my tekin is the BC112C and I just sold my Pitbull inorder to buy a CDC. I might try integrating a Tekin and a Victor one of these days

I'm working on a "Power Cube", it will have a flat top with a 120mm fan mounted towards the back to cool batteries and my TC3...GFX in the middle... power supply & 112a on the bottom. Tools will be mounted on either side. It will measure 10" x 10" x 10.5". My pit light will also fit on top saving more room. The 10" x 10.5" is a small foot print considering everything included. I have a VERY ROUGH model attached, once again it's a VERY ROUGH model the finished product will look better.
The GFX is set at a 10 deg angle so it easier to see. The charger leads have been moved up front.
