Works great. The higher the voltage, the better the connection and the faster it connects.
I have a step up converter hard wired to a upfitter switch with a port mounted in my Molle panel. I can unplug from that and use the portable power supply. So, two sources of power. I’m aware that’s there is a 40 pound brick behind my head, not being secured is temporary. I wouldn’t go off-road...
I switch from the hardwired power port to an outlet on the power supply with a usb adapter. Right now the unit is just sitting on the shelf. I’ll tie it down or strap it eventually.
I have recently added a couple of things wired direct to the battery that always draw a small amount of current. Plus my Bronco sits a lot and does mostly short trips. Not surprising that I started getting "system off" messages in Ford Pass. So, it was time to install a battery maintainer. The...
If you want to take it to the next level...

Especially if you want a fridge/freezer combo unit, pay close attention to the interior dimension. The marketing photo's are very deceiving and it's incredibly difficult to see how much a electric cooler will actually hold. You definitely have to pay to play if you want something reasonably...
I used the upfitter wire that’s run to the rear and tied it into switch one. (I’ll probably take it to an accessory circuit to free the switch up.) I have a portable power supply for when I want to run it when the Bronco is not running. The American Adventure Labs Starlink mount finally came...
I would be all excited about this if it was compatible with your cargo molle side panels. My cooler wouldn't fit under your cargo basket shelf either, so there's that too. if it's the same quality as your other products, it's very well built.
I used this. Looks like you have a different quick connect fitting?

Also, so I did not have to drill a large hole...
I have the parts to do something just like this. How did you get power to the step up converter? Right now I have the dish on top of my overhead molle, but it doesn't connect very well there.
LOL, in my career as a inspector, I've seen some creative work done to add a foot of wire. I've seen plenty of attempts to stretch lumber too. Plumbers have it easy unless we are talking about keeping pipes in a wall.
But yeah, I'm looking for a trick set of cables, probably #4. Something like...
Agreed. And thanks for your input. I don't have anything specific planned that would give me set requirements, I'm just tired of tearing all my plastic trim out every time I come up with a new project and want to have a place to land things without going to the battery again.
I'm an (all trades) ICC certified building inspector. Picky about my builds, and know a few things about wiring. I would like to make the power point for 100 amps. That's probably more than I would ever need, 1/0 wire is large to run and expensive. On the fence about running #2 or #4 instead.
I'm installing the 800 watt alternator charger that was just released. It comes with it's own wiring harness to the battery. The 10 gauge is for power to other things. (That may attach to the power point I want to build.)
I have a Anker alternator charger to install in the rear of my Bronco. I want to run parallel wires to install a power bus in the cargo area. Where can I find the cable for this? I'm looking for cables already in a loom. Not sure of the wire size yet, thoughts on that? A fuse and Anderson...
For the folks that put their antenna on the tailgate, did you just run the cable through the pressure relief vent? AGS makes a nice pass through assembly for this, but it's pricey. Not sure how important it is for all of the vent flaps to be closed. I could also go through the grommet for the...
