Battery hub thing question

anyone know how many accessories can be added to the hub located next to the battery? The stock stuff is all there but I want to add a fog light and a door popper lead to it but I want to make sure it's not gonna melt or something.....thanks

Re: Battery hub thing question

if you're looking to add a couple more circuits, I'd recommend getting an adapter for the battery terminal instead. It screws into the battery like to OE one did, but also has a stud coming off of it allowing you to hook up ring terminals to it. Can be found at most auto part stores or car audio shops for $5-20 (depending on bling factor)

You can also find other junction blocks (which is what the "hub thing" is called)...

Re: Battery hub thing question

Shouldn't have any issues connecting anything to the distribution block (except maybe an amp) - nothing else draws enough juice to matter I wouldn't think. I've got several things (including fogs) connected there for convenience (since I have my amp connected to battery terminal). Go for it!
