12v Power Socket & GPS Power Lead
Hi, needing some direction on how to correctly attach a power socket and a GPS power lead direclty to the battery on my xt600e (without bursting into flames or blowing anything up)
I have bought a power socket (with a waterproof/ dustproof cap), which includes a 10amp inline fuse and battery connection.
A few queston...
- Is a 10amp fuse ok for the charging of mobiles, torch batteries (ie: AAA etc..) ?
- Should I attempt to incorporate an on/off switch ?
- What is the best way to lead the cable through the bike without it being damaged ? - Do I need to place the cable in some sort of heat resistant covering ?
- I have considered mounting this socket towards the rear of the bike to charge items packed in the panniers or rear rack bag...or is the front of the bike more convenient ?
- Although the socket has a waterproof/ dustproof cap. Is there not a risk of water getting in from the other end along the wire ? - is this a problem ? Should the Socket be housed in a weatherproof manner ?
I have also bought a car charger for my GPS, this has no inline fuse nor battery connection. I was planning on choping off the plug socket, adding an inline fuse of 2amps and battery connectors.
More queston...
- Is a 2amp fuse the right fuse to use ?
Any advice would be great, thanks
