6 port Fuse box

[Turbz]

I have just installed a 2nd battery in the rear of my hilux. I have some ciggy plugs in the rear now also. Should I fuse the ciggy plugs ? Should I fuse everything ? If I do fuse them, should I run a wire for each plug to the fuse box, or use one of them bars ( I forget the name ) with the screws in it. Just seems gay to run a heap of wires from your battery terminal. i.e. If I have 2 lights and 3 ciggy plugs, I don't want to run 5 little wires from my battery terminal. If anyone has pics of their setups i'd greatly appreciate it.
p.s. What fuses are better?.. inline.. or an actual blade fuse box ( 6 port etc )?

Cheers, Turbz

I just searched for this topic and found some info. ( I always get excited and post before I search ) Bus bar is what I meant. Should I run thick arse cable to a bus bar, them from the bus bar to the blade type fuse box, then to ciggy plugs and lights ?

My 32L engel has a 10amp fuse. Should I run the same in the fuse box ? Or not fuse it at all ?

Cheers. Turbz.

p.s. Some pics would rock btw.. if has have some available anyway. Thx.

Yes, I would recommend one thick arse cable to the arse end (big fuse/breaker at the battery end) then the fuse block you describe.

I would fuse the fridge outlet too.

Yer I think I might go to jaycar and check out some stuff. I am so slow with electrical work. Dunno why but it takes me ages ! I love my work but. I'd rather be slow and do an awesome job, then quick and rough.

I should leave my cc home if I go to jaycar looks like they got some stuff !
