Easily distribute power from your deep cycle battery.
This plug-and-play 12V DC Power Distribution Box allows you to easily distribute 12V power from your auxiliary battery. Using its wide range of ports, you can run or charge up to 13 appliances simultaneously. It is suitable for all deep-cycle battery types including AGM, Lithium, Wet, Gel and Calcium.
Constructed of durable ABS plastic and meeting the UL 94V-0 standard for flammability of plastic products, this power box is a high-quality unit that will last for many years.
It contains four 50A Anderson-style outlets. One of these is used to connect the power box to the battery, and the other three can be used as outputs or inputs, meaning you can use them to either power appliances with Anderson plug such as fridges, or to connect a DC-DC charger or solar panel to charge the connected battery. All of the Anderson outlets are recessed into the body to minimise the possibility of damage from knocks. It also contains two USB ports, two QC3.0 USB ports, two USB Type-C ports, two cigarette ports and two DC barrel ports, as well as an inbuilt voltmeter.
Mounting bracket included.
Mounting the power box inside your 4×4 or camper trailer is easy thanks to the included slide-on mounting bracket.
Connect the box to your auxiliary battery by running a cable from the battery terminals to one of the Anderson ports on the underside of the box.
If you want to remove the auxiliary battery from your vehicle (e.g. to use it at camp), you can easily slide the control box off the mounting bracket so you can take it with the battery.

The best portable and compact distribution box that is strong and durable, easy to use. This is a necessary accessory with any solar/ battery setup because you never want to be waiting to power up or charge your equipment whenever you need it.

I have only just finished installing my control box and I am very happy with the product along with the following Hardkorr items, also just finished installing yesterday (25/04/2023):
240AH lithium battery
25amp AC-DC charger
40amp DC-DC charger
2000 watt inverter
Crocskin PV Panels
Battery Monitor.
My only query is that the battery monitor keeps defaulting to 100AH even after resetting it to 240AH despite following instructions provided with it. Now I’m all set to enjoy comfortable camping.

This is a great item, I have this installed in the back of my car, I can charge up to 6 devices at once, I love the fact that I can charge all my gear using solar setup ( via battery of course) and don’t need to have the ignition on in the car.
I have bought 3 of these now, Highly reccomend
