Healtech Thunder Box power distribution

[SortedCE04]

Hello, recent newbie to the CE04. Fitted a Healtech Thunderbox power distribution box. https://www.healtech-electronics.com/products/tb/





Thunderbox fitted, did require a switched live connection. Powers up with ignition, it does a self-check and after that powers on the accessory; USB A charge lead in this case. Powers down when off and cuts power and then goes into sleep mode.



USB lead will live under the seat.

Neat'ish install above didn't work as the side panel no longer fitted. Ended up thus

Obligatory wheel graphics added, just the rear wheel for now. Looks 67% cooler according to the kids on the street.

Hello,

Quick question. Which fuse did you tap into?

I'd need to check that, been a while. I'll have a look and come back to you.

Many thanks. I might get a Healtech and do the same.

I realize that you folks are using a stock fuse merely as a trigger to the Healtech (or to any other fuse panel, such as East Beaver's PC8 -- https://www.easternbeaver.com/Main/Wiring_Kits/Fuseboxes/PC-8R/PC-8R_PDM.html -- which I've used on a couple of bikes), so this caveat doesn't really apply here.

But just for general info, and in case anyone else reads this thread who just wants to tap into a stock fuse without adding a fuse panel, I just thought I'd point out that fuse taps can be inserted either of two ways, but that there's a recommended way and a not recommended way to do that. Here's a video that explains it all better, if you have ten minutes to spare:
