My Powertank effort

[Nephalem]

Having read a lot of DIY powertank threads I have had a go at doing one myself!

Its consists of the following:

B&Q Heavy case

100 amp Marine/Leisure battery

Maplin 30amp and 15 amp wire

Blade Fuse box

2x 4 to 1 Distribution blocks

6x Marine 12v cigarette sockets

Master Switch

Push buttonswitch and Voltmeter LCD display

So in a nutshell I have made cutouts in the case for the cigarette sockets, LCD display and pushbutton and master switch. Positive wiring goes to Master switch to distribution block to fuse box then to cigarette sockets. Negative wiring to distribution blocks then to cigarette sockets. Cost including battery charger was approx £250. I need to invest in some better cable tidys but cable ties will have to do at the moment.

I will say if I can do this then anyone can!

Nice job, is it just a voltmeter LCD or volt/ammeter?

Thanks...its just a voltmeter. I did look for an ampmeter but wasnt sure what would be suitable....so stuck with a voltmeter.
