Does anyone know if any ATV or motorcycle 12v battery would work? and how do you hook up the fuse?

Any type 12 volt battery will work. Now pick up a inline fuse holder at the auto store, and same type 3-amp fuse's to fit your holder. Hook the holder to the hot supply line to your f/finder and to the hot + side of you battery and the other line goes to the neg. side of battery. That's it.

It works on any 12 volt battery. It has its own built in fuse,so you don't have to hook one up.

Yes, as long as its 12v. Just run the fuse in line with the positive. I hope this helps

Yes it will run off any 12v system with a small battery you wont have as much run time as you would a deep cycle or automotive battery , but I am sure it would last all weekend if thats the only thing running off of it ... run a in line fuse of the red wire " positive " & run it how you would like from there .mine has wire coming off the fuse link so I put a eye style connector of that to the battery post .

12v is 12v but I would be concerned that the lighter is not fused/wired heavy enough to handle the amps required to run the thrower. I paid a little extra for the wheeled cart which also carries the battery and works great. Also, you don't need a new battery, I use weak a weak old truck battery.

Standard 12 volt ATV battery and/or any 12 volt battery "larger" than an ATV battery.

Would recommend the 12 VDC approach. My 36v cart is wired to two batteries to supply all the aux items. And to your point, a fuse is an inexpensive insurance policy for when the powered device fails. Good luck

No, you need a 12v. external power source. I have a trolling motor and I connect to it. I guess you could use a smaller 12v. battery maybe a motorcycle or lawnmower battery. I'm not sure of the current draw to know how small a battery you could use.

I used standard crimp connectors to wire mine up to a 12v marine battery underneath my golf cart. I used the red ones because their the smallest. Because the wire is so small, I stripped enough so I could double the wire over. Then I daubed liquid electrical tape over it. Hope this helps.

12 volt it was the best and only way to solve battery problems on a HARLEY. Were the battery was encase around a hot oil tank bad design.

I use a small 12 volt gel filled tractor battery but any deep cycle battery will work.

A 12 volt 7 amp battery works best ! If you try to use a larger size, it probably will not fit inside the control panel and not charge as fast or all the way.

I have mine ran through the factory dash switch. You could run it directly to a 12 volt battery, but I strongly encourage putting an inline fuse in.

hi there, a normal 12 volt battery or power supply will be just fine. that's the regular power for these units. thanks from Maple Leaf Gps

Those are REALLY high draw devices that don't really work out on a 30 amp fuse, and the fuses this box take max out at 30A. For those types of things, I would run them right off the battery, I wouldn't bother with a fuse.... Kinda like a car starter, where there's no fuse. If you feel you must fuse them, there are some "Maxi Fuse" type things that might work, but I have no idea what the current draw of either item is. This is for the depth finder, the ignition, the horn, the lights, etc.

You can certainly connect it directly to the battery; however that connection needs to be fused appropriately. Also, "the winch" you referenced may be an issue since the auxiliary fuse panel is only rated for 100 amps. If you wire directly to the battery I would ensure that you have an inline 100 amp fuse close to your battery. I installed mine with a reset-able breaker (100 amp) between the battery and the fuse panel.

Connect it straight to your battery. Use something like this: Scosche EBT Battery Terminal with ABS Cover Get one for Positive and one for Negative. Use size 12 AWG wire. You might be able to run just a black wire to battery, and the red to like a seat bolt or something as ground if it's easier, but a battery ground is never a fail. Good luck!

The spray rig needs a 12 volt dc battery to run the spray pump. The wires provided are quite long and come rigged to hitch up to a deep-cycle RV battery, or something similar. You would probably need to get the proper plug and simply wire the two spray-pump wires on to the new plug end. Pay attention to the polarity on the new plug and pump so that they match the "Pos" "Neg" of your ATV plug-in. It should be quite easy to do this yourself. Hope this helps. Good luck, Holly T...

It needs a 12volt source. I ran it off of the ignition fuse in the fuse pannel on the drivers side. Only works when the ignition is on. I put an inline fuse as well. Very simple.

I didn't use a fuse block I went straight to the battery. I used the wire that came with the winch and have had no problems.
