Hi members. I’m starting to design my second battery install and would like to know what fuse box your using and how you have it set up.
Thanks

Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance August 4th and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

blue sea makes several great choices depending on how many fuses you need.

I use circuit distributors of the german company Votronic since many years and very happy with them. Do not know if you can get them in the US, but the company has a english webiste. For example the power distributors: VOTRONIC - Power Distributors
As a developer and manufacturer Votronic sell their products to commercial customers only as fa as I know. So you have to find a retailer.
In case you are interested, I can contact them for you to find out if they have any point of sales in the US. Just let me know.

And I went the Amazon prime route. I read all the reviews and chose the Nirider 6 gang system. It is very well made, heavy guage wiring on the battery side, 16g fused hot side. It has a single flat cable (quite long) that connects to the switch panel inside. The switch panel is where it sucks some. Its rinky dinky with plastic pushbutton clicky squares. The lighting inside the switch is fairly bright too.
I did not mount my switch instead I have it loose under my tilt steering area where I can easily access it without having the annoyng green light in my eye.
not the best pic of the unit, as I am not a big picture taker... but I had to make a bracket to mount the fuse box.

This is the fuse box I have inside my second battery box I made from a Dewalt toolbox. I've used a lot of Blue Sea products in my setups and they are of great quality!

I agree with Viking on this, BlueSea makes some really good products that are easy to work with.

I also used a Blue Seas fuse box, but I installed it in an unused cup holder in the cargo area:

Basic Dual Battery Install in a '99 Land Cruiser
With the addition of a fridge to my Land Cruiser, I really wanted to isolate the power used by accessories when parked to a dedicated house battery. There are many possible routes to achieve a functional dual battery setup; this is how I did it. Objective: Install a simple and cost effective...
