Hi all,
I'm in the process of building a battery box for my 12v leisure battery so we have a powerpoint for the LED lighting, phone chargers etc. I was thinking of adding 5 or 6 sockets using the image below as my inspiration
I'm going to run all of the swtiches via a mini blade fuse box which has a common live connection point.
However, I'm wondering what to do with the negative wires from the switches.
In the example i'm using as a reference, all of the negative connections from the switches have been daisy chained together with just one connection to the batteries negative terminal
Whilst this is very neat, is it safe to do?
I'm assuming that doing it this way will mean that the wire you use to connect the netagive connections up needs to be of a sufficient gauge to deal with the potential current from all of the sockets...?
Cheers
