Fuse box help needed...

[ashmccormick]

Nice one stirlo! That's what I'll most likely do with mine. I was just gonna drill all the tabs so I could put one wire through and solder up.

yer otherwise just fold all tabs but not the last one. put 2-3 cable ties to hold it in place and then solder like crazy, then fold the last tab over the tab of the wire. - that is what i did :P

what a great idea Stirlo, thanks for that

Just BE SURE TO USE A INLINE FUSE ON IT! Between the battery and the fuse box use a maxi fuse or circuit breaker. Example: If you have a 8 slot fuse box all 8 slots coming off a single soldered cable (photo above) and all things are 10amp fuses. thats 80amps if all are turned on at once. Keep it inmind guys and be safe! I use a Maxi Fuse 100amp to protect it

Fuses are to protect cables, so make sure that your Fuses are suitable for the cables

True Fuse types depend on cable types/sizes

Yeh I will inline fuse it. Although several auto sparkies I talked to said not necessary if its an auxiliary battery running just LED's and a fridge all earthed and fused correctly... Mind you I do live in the Kimberley so safety is of no great worry up here haha

for $5 worth fusing just in case

Yep. That $5 fuse could be the difference between just blowing a fuse, or starting a fire in the car...

or, the Baintech type

This is exactly the unit I have. Best money spent on 12V. Keeps stuff neat and tidy. On my grenade I had one under the hood for front lights, compressor etc... And one at the rear for fridge, camping lights etc... Willl be wiring up a similar setup this time around again.
