Hi,
Any advice gratefully received.
I have a project which requires a 12v scanner to be run from a battery. I have a 12vDC 12AH battery which is all working fine, but I'm not entirely sure that I have the earths connected as efficiently as possible.
The diagram below shows that I need an earth for the battery charger, the illuminated rocker switch and the DC to DC convertor.
At present, I'm using Lucar connectors with three wires coming off of the Negative of the battery with heat shrink to wrap them up and protect the cables.
Is this OK, or should I run a single earth to a termination block and join all earths there? If so, can anyone recommend a suitable termination block? It needs to be small and protected from user interference.
Thanks
