What is a 12 Volt Control Box?
A 12 volt control box is a metal box that usually contains a variety of 12V instruments such as switches, quick-connect connectors, sockets, voltmeters, etc. The control box provides a physical interface to allow control and monitoring of equipment and is the best solution for any 12V assembly. It is suitable for the back of 4x4s or caravans and other 12V systems.
Why Need a 12 Volt Control Box?
Whether you are planning to go on a short camping vacation or a road trip, the vast majority of people need to charge devices such as phones and laptops, so electricity is vital to the role and indispensable.
When you’re camping or traveling in a 4×4, prepare to set up camp. You turn off your car’s engine and your car no longer has any power and no way to power your refrigerator or any other device. That’s when you need deep cycle batteries, and when those devices are powered up, you also need to monitor their available power, voltage, and real-time power consumption. You can install a battery monitor to do this, but you will still need to charge the deep-cycle batteries with a DC-DC charger, even if you are using a solar panel with a regulator. However, once you’ve sorted out your power needs and how to charge and monitor your deep-cycle batteries, you need to distribute all that power to your appliances.
The easiest solution for all your power needs is to install a 12 volt control box.
Benefits of a 12 Volt Control Box
The benefit of a 12 volt control box is that you can easily power all of your appliances, such as your refrigerator or coffee maker when you are on the road, camping, and away from power.
