Joeman Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 In an effort to clean up my dodgy wiring, I decided to build a power distribution box.So tonight I powered up the soldering iron and built this! It a box that's wired to the battery and a switched live such as the numberplate light. It contains a relay to keep the switched power separate from the load.It also has an LED battery monitor that can dangle outside the bike to give a visual indication of battery status. Waiting for some three way plugs to arrive so I can have one plug that's for both a permanent and switch live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Fro Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Looks handy Joeman, I like the snazzy connectors! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeman Posted March 2, 2017 Author Share Posted March 2, 2017 Cheers. Only need it for three devices, USB charger, GPS tracker and powercommander autotune. It's small enough to fit under the seat with the battery - not much free space on my bike!Also the LED battery monitor doubles up as a charge port for the maintenance charger, so now I only need this one device connected to the battery which will clean up the wiring loads.

Joeman Posted March 11, 2017 Author Share Posted March 11, 2017 My Cosmo box just arrived. Quite a bit bigger than mine so not sure I have space on the bike to install it with the supplied case.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Yeah one thing I noticed was the size of the box! Although I have the space It could be made smaller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
