Power tapping
 

Being electronic and wiring challenged I’m looking for the best way to tap power on the Charger. I looking to support two taps one 30 and another 15 amp. Your thoughts/ideas would be appreciated.

I’ve been looking at busman, Streetwires and Painless Wiring products and go cross-eyed from all the possibilities.

Some of the things I’m pondering:

[blockquote]
Can an existing unused fuse be tapped?
Should an auxiliary fuse box be added?
Should I use in-line fuses and tap the battery post?
Should there be worry of spikes that might fry existing systems?
At what point should one worry about charging/overload issues?[/blockquote]

I think you would be better off using a aux. box,that way you are keeping everything away from the stock fusebox .It seems as touchy as these babys are,I would go the extra mile .IMO

Thanks for the input Marty!
