Subject: RE: RV-List: Panel Power Source
That's similar to the socket that Aerotronics installed in my panel; I like
it. However, I opted for a different ground power source, especially as I
intended the socket to power an MP3 player and, besides, don't want to have
to leave my canopy open to power my system. I have a Battery Tender
(batterytender.com) 1.5 Amp unit, with a permanent connection to my main
battery accessible through the oil filler door. I find that I can use the
system for panel checks and such (I've been wiring my panel and engine for
the past year) without significantly draining the battery and overnight it
is full again. If you need more than that, they have a 5 Amp model, but
it's much more expensive. BTW, I discovered them when I needed a good
charger for my motorcycle, which is a replica generator Shovelhead; the
generator does not do a good job of replenishing charge when you make a lot
of short trips, so I generally leave it on charge overnight. Three years
and both battery and the tender are going strong.

I'll make an "improvement" on Jim's recommendation. Obtain a marine
cigarette socket and plug from your local marine supply house (Boat Owners
Warehouse, West Marine, etc). These vendors carry "locking" cigarette
socket/plug combos. These will prevent the plug from vibrating out of the
socket due to rough air or that Lycoming! See

I really liked the ones standard in Honda vehicles with a square spring
loaded cap with embossed 12V . ~$16.00 at the parts counter. I am sure
there are $5.00 units out there, I just really liked the square cap.
Sorry no photos.

Anyone used the Approach FastStack for wiring their panels? Seems like a great
system for simplifying wiring?
