Cougar Posted April 11, 2009 Share #1 Posted April 11, 2009 In the past I thought I saw a Aux terminal box hooked near the battery for all the gadgets that are installed. I would like to make it so I have less hooked directly to the battery. (kinda make it pretty in that area) OR anybody have any idea's? Anybody remember were the post or write-up was?

bryan52577 Posted April 11, 2009 Share #4 Posted April 11, 2009 Cougar, Found this on another site. Hope it helps? This is the power plate that I'm installing... the universal at; http://www.electricalconnection.com/power-distribution/pplate.htm Here is where I mounted mine. http://www.venturers.org/Tech_Library/attachments/term_block.jpg Don Roden I conncted my powerplate in the same location wired to the rear acessory terminal (white plug) on the left side under the seat. By doing that the juice to the plate shuts down with the ignition switch. I did'nt want to come out and find a dead battery because I forgot to turn an accessory wired to the plate off. So far......so good - sgtglenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bummer Posted April 11, 2009 Share #6 Posted April 11, 2009 I got one like that for maybe six bucks at Autozone. Works great. Highly recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whanna Posted April 11, 2009 Share #8 Posted April 11, 2009 (edited) I picked one of these up at Advance Auto for $7 or so. Big fuse between it and the battery if you mount it more than 12" from the battery, just to make sure you're not sitting on a bomb waiting on a chafed wire... Edited - try this one? http://tinyurl.com/cdk97s Edited April 11, 2009 by whanna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cougar Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share #13 Posted April 11, 2009 Ok Guys.. I saw them at Auto-Zone. $7.99 Now a Question.. Is the Scew/Bolt Part for the HOT Wire? (POS) and what about the Neg side? there are no instructions on the box. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whanna Posted April 12, 2009 Share #14 Posted April 12, 2009 I was at AutoZone earlier and took a picture of that $7.99 unit, guess I don't have to post it now! The stud/post is the positive side of the equation. Whatever you hook up to the unit will connect to the terminal adjacent to the fuse (+ or red wire), and then just ground the black wire of the device (horn, lights, radio, whatever) to a suitable ground point. Circuit complete. Red is positive (+) and black is negative (-). The fuse box will provide six positive feeds, the bike's frame will provide the negative feed. Make sense? I hope so.

Cougar Posted April 12, 2009 Author Share #15 Posted April 12, 2009 So when I mount it.. (looked like plastic) It should be grounded? I took one out and looked in the holes. And was scratching my head Trying to figure out what or how to ground. the first guy said that the post was the ground *OOPS* silly kid!

Run a nice fat wire/wires from the bolt to the positive side of the battery. Insulate the bolt (the one on mine is pretty long). I used shrink tubing. It's facing down, behind the battery, in my pic. Plug the power wire to the device onto one of the lugs. Add a fuse to the matching spot on the fuse block. Ground the device itself where ever it is convenient. There is no grounding being done on the fuse block. You don't even need to bring the ground all the way back there. Just ground it to a solid frame ground point.
