Rather than have multipull things connected to the battery as I'm sorting the 12v usb,cigarette feed and heated grips and sat nav feed out...
Are the ones in the link reliable long term when road and offroad on a xt660z so vibrations are big...fitting under seat so hot, dusty and wet environment..
Thanks for the input from the electric guys...
Am I correct that I need to check what I'm connecting to each fused outlet amps wise?
Say the fuse is 4amp would safe.max be 3amp

Re: Power hub for accessories
For this price it seems okay.
Fuses are there to protect the wiring. Not the equipment.
If your equipment takes 5A I recommend you use wiring that can handle 5A plus at least 20%.
If your wiring can handle 5A you need to use max 5A fuse for it. Slightly smaller fuse is preferable.
It is perfectly reasonable to use wiring that can handle 16A for 5A equipment and use 10A fuse for that.
PS. Note that this fuse box requires fuse on the input wire (located near the battery). The box is rated for 20A so 20A is the maximum fuse you can use for the box power line.
It's not just fuses. It also has relay so you can turn all the equipment off.
