Any solutions to running multipule accessories from the battery?
Are there any solutions to running multipule items that need a direct battery feed. I'm already running a MSD 6AL box, electric fans, electric thermostat control. Now I'm wanting to convert headlights to H4/HID and the relays need direct battery source. Is there some type of "power management" system that can run one wire from the battery to a Manifold that can feed all of these modern accessories.

Yeah man, a lot of car audio guys run into this. You should be able to google something like "automotive power distribution block" and find what you're after.

I like the ones with a bank of fuses built in. Then you can run a heavy 4,6,8 gauge wire to it and run your relays off of it. Easy to trouble shoot than random fuse holders inline in a snake pit of wires.

Rune one of the plastic encased brass distribution blocks, use a dual terminal battery and run a dedicated 4 gauge wire to it make it short or protect it with one of the large 175 amp mega fuses. Then I run any extra acc main power form these, and you can also then from this run to audio fuse block running maxi fuses. Dont use the older gold plated glass big fuses, they cant handle lots of vibration.
Ill try to get a pic up of what I had made before.Lee Abel

Have you considered a remote power center like those offered by Painless? They have, I believe, both a one and two relay option with 8-10 fused circuits. It makes running power to multiple sources cleaner and easier to track down/service problems.

MAD Electrical has a great system. More specifically their distribution blocks. Good stuff and great instructions.
