Guest Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 Thanks for the info, I'm going to try to install it in a .750 or 1" tube and make it rain proof Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nisei Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 Great idea. You can make a very sleek and light mod when using external power.Please post when finished.Oh, a tip; I'm not sure how you were planning on installing the fuse but there's a great lighter plug on eBay that has a built in, easy to replace (by unscrewing the tip) fuse.http://r.ebay.com/ZLdqnw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've thought about the lighter plug but I'm not sure it would handle the amps, I might just run a dedicated wire, as far as the fuse I was thinking about this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/161226669125?lpid=82&chn=ps&ul_ref=http%253A%252F%252Frover.ebay.com%252Frover%252F1%252F711-117182-37290-0%252F2%253Fmtid%253D1588%2526kwid%253D1%2526crlp%253D53601919689_324272%2526itemid%253D161226669125%2526targetid%253D87946144449%2526rpc%253D0.19%2526rpc_upld_id%253D53285%2526rlsatarget%253D%2526device%253Dm%2526mpre%253Dhttp%25253A%25252F%25252Fwww.ebay.com%25252Fitm%25252Flike%25252F161226669125%25253Flpid%25253D82%252526chn%25253Dps%2526adtype%253Dpla%2526gclid%253DCJS985nFnMcCFQ2OaQod3O4AZQ%2526srcrot%253D711-117182-37290-0%2526rvr_id%253D881524363744 and install it at the bottom of tube but I need to measure some to see if it would work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 This will fit inside a .750 tube with the corners rounded off using the low profile mini fuse it's rated for 20A which is fine for me I'd rather blow a 20A fuse before the 25A SMD one goes http://www.mouser.com/Search/m_ProductDetail.aspx?Keystone-Electronics%2f3588%2f&qs=sGAEpiMZZMtRmoYvq3OwzPu1j8c6R%252bXbiEp%2fc%252bjR%2fsE%3d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nisei Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Ah yes, looks like a car fuse. But may I ask why you want to use a fuse? If you make sure everything's wired up like it should then there's no chance it's going to blow unless something would be seriously wrong with the board itself.

This is not to protect the mod, but the rest of the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 This install is going to be permanent and I may bypass the fuse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nisei Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Ah well if it's permanent I'd just put the fuse on the car side instead of the mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunnsnow Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 There is a very good article about mah and wh etc here it is definitely worth a read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRedBaron Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Any devise requiring power from the car should be fused within 12 inches of the power supply [battery]. That way the positive feed line is protected for the entire distance of its length, not just the internals of the mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
