The Sure Power Battery Separator/Interconnect Model 1314-200 has been discussed on ExPo a few times, but every time I try and find information it's a bit of a challenge so I figured why not start a thread dedicated to this neat little unit.
I've just received mine last week and have been trying to figure out the best mounting location for it. I know that Scott has it mounted inside his aluminum box but I don't have this option. I found a perfect place on the fire wall up high to the right and close to my second battery where my current fuse panel is mounted as can be seen here:
Then last night when reading the installation instructions I read this: "Do not mount in direct engine heat.". Great, there goes my plan. So my question is where did the folks with this unit mount it? What adverse effect would it have on the unit if I were to mount it in the engine bay? I'm thinking shortened life span perhaps. I've e-mailed Sure Power and will post their response.
The other question I had, is would you put an in-line fuse or circuit breaker between the unit and aux. battery or main battery?
Cheers :beer:,
