It gives you ten ways to run or charge gear, a built-in digital voltmeter and a slide-on mounting bracket, all in a 0.6 kg box.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy This Product\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA canopy or camper trailer soon needs power in lots of small places: the fridge, a phone charger, a light. A distribution hub gathers them into one neat unit at the battery, so you are not chaining adaptors together. The voltmeter keeps an eye on the battery, and the bracket lets you lift the box out when the battery comes with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTen ways to connect\u003c\/strong\u003e – run or charge up to 10 appliances from one auxiliary battery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDigital voltmeter\u003c\/strong\u003e – an LCD display shows battery voltage in real time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMixed port types\u003c\/strong\u003e – a 10A cigarette socket and 5A barrel ports sit alongside USB-A, QC3.0 and 45W USB-C charging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo 50A Anderson outlets\u003c\/strong\u003e – use them for the battery, a high-draw appliance, or a solar panel or DC-DC charger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFire-resistant ABS build\u003c\/strong\u003e – ports are recessed to reduce the chance of damage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuick-release mounting\u003c\/strong\u003e – the slide-on bracket in the box lets the hub travel with the battery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIdeal For\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4x4 canopy owners\u003c\/strong\u003e who need compact power distribution.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCamper trailer owners\u003c\/strong\u003e upgrading the electrics or building them from scratch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCustom dual-battery setups\u003c\/strong\u003e that need a neat distribution point.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnyone who wants to see battery voltage\u003c\/strong\u003e while running fridges and gadgets.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLocal Support from 4Matt Campers\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWeighing the Mini against the full-size DC Control Box?
