[Elecraft] To Fuse or Not To Fuse...

The 5 outlet RigRunner saved my rig just last week!  I now feel like its
purchase price was free!

Hi

One option would be to mount a 5 output RigRunner to the side of the battery
with double stick foam tape or tie wraps. Then you would have a master fuse
for the battery and 5 fused outputs for the K1 and any other accessories you
may need to power. You could also plug in a charger or a small solar panel
at the same time. You would need to install powerpole connectors on
everything but the RigRunner comes with a few extra connectors. The
RigRunner uses the flat automotive fuses available at any auto parts store
and come in many sizes from 1 to 40 amps.
