- Great for power distribution from Solar Charge Controller output to the DC load
- Use in the Car, EOC, Go-Kit, Home, Base station, or all of them!
- Handles 30A (total load) with option for 45A total (add your own bus bars onto the board)
- Works even completely Under Water! (tested for this, but not recommended)
- Optional features:
- Switched Digital Voltmeter - reads from 5-30VDC, switch between input voltage and DC power module volts, or turn Off
- Up to 10 Power Modules - USB, Step-Up/Down - Choose the ones you need!
- V.5 has holes for mounting a Raspberry Pi single-board Computer to the back of the board

- 3-30V 4A Step-Up/Down DC-DC Power Module Option - Charge your laptop battery with +19VDC! (Note: too big to fit on board)
- Up to 3 C&K 1101 Vertical Slide Switch - replaces a fuse for manually switched outputs
- Note: the switches for J2 and J4 outputs are in the same physical location as the optional U2 and U3 power modules so it's Either/Or but not Both.
- Shipping is about $5 for 1-2 units in the USA
