4 months later... :shock:

I rebuilt the control box 3x times... because I kept adding more connections
and switches
and relays
and fuses
and wires... :o

Then I added a second small box for the 200A relay and fuse...

I'm just happy it works :mrgreen:
The 12V drill plugs into one of the Anderson plugs. It has a stall current of 24A and the voltage did not even dip. Off voltage is 12,8V from the battery and Idle is at 14,3V (The internal meter measures 0,3V too low). Those 35mm^2 cables really work well. Later I'll add a second battery and my compressor in permanently because I have the connections to do it :mrgreen:. I am also going to make a battery monitor to keep the main battery safe if it runs down to much. I need to add an additional power indicator in the back so I can see that there is power at the box from my rear view mirror.
