Its Anderson, USB, USB-C, cigarette-socket and barrel outlets let you run or charge up to 13 things at once, and the slide-on bracket in the box makes it simple to mount in a 4x4 or camper trailer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy This Product\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce a 4x4 or camper trailer has an auxiliary battery, the next job is getting power out of it neatly. A fridge, phones, a DC-DC charger and more all need a connection. A distribution box gives each one its own port and puts the battery status on a display, in place of a tangle of loose leads. Because the box slides off its bracket, it can travel with the battery when the battery leaves the vehicle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey
