radio to leisure battery - sparky advise

Post by **hembo666** » 23 May 2007, 21:19

I know how to rewire this (one method listed in wiki but there are other ways of doing it)

The question i have is if it going to be powering the radio, sat nav and cb sometimes all together what rating cable and fuse should i use?

Work out the worst case for current draw and add a bit for safety, all protected with a lower rated fuse. Can`t see you wanting more than 17amp cable, unless you`re plugging in invertor etc, in which case, wire that seperately on a dedicated cable of mucho amps

I've just had this done on my bus.
My mate put a seperate 4-way fuse box in, so my radio, cb, cigar socket and cab light all now run off my leisure battery and they all have their own fuses.

Hope this helps.
