abcdedd · Dec 16, 2012

Hi guys hope everyone is gooood, i know im asking alot of questions at the moment, but hey, its why were all here

Very quick one really, i have alot of extra 12v feeds coming from my battery to power things like CB, lights, radio, all sorts! and i need to work out a way of minimising the amount of wires attatched to the posotive terminal? anyone got any ideas/tricks.. everyone must suffer from this problem?

Thanks alot

I fitted an auxiliary fusebox with a 100A fused feed from the battery. Then I can run up to 12 items off this, fused individually to whatever amperage they require.

Mine came from Vehicle Wiring Products as above.

Here's an old and rather outdated photo, but it shows the idea:

Looks really smart, Could I check that this would be an ok set up to run from a national Luna split charge system running dual oddessey batteries?

Get yourself another fuse box, the Discovery 300tdi under bonnet one is good for this, usually goes for about £10. It gies you lots of expandability.

I would then take a good heavy cable (Id use about 100Amp) get it crimped up with decent terminals to suit and install this box in the battery box.

You now have fused feeds for all sorts.

Thinking about getting one for my live feeds too

twist all the wires together and apply tape on half arsed. It's what my PO seemed to think

Should be. I run it from a second battery, though my split charge is just the X-Eng relay.
