Hello,

I have a perko switch that i want to install so i have 2 batteries..

My question is, Can i use one those power box stations to hook up the 2 batteries to the perko switch...

I like the exposed terminals of those boxes, I just dont know if they can handle the power capacity. With the "regular" boxes i have now, i just find it hard to get the wires to go under the cover, and it looks bad.

Any help, Thanks,

Here is the box.

Re: Dual battery Box question

Looks like it's just intended for the accessories and not a starting battery. It's got a built in circuit breaker that would trip (unless it was several hundred amps) as soon as you tried to start the V6. However, there's no specifications, so I am just guessing.
