I bought this with an addacircuit. Im going to plug the addacircuit into my accessory slot, which is 15a. What fuses do I put in the addacircuit?

If your are using this circuit for a radar detector, a 2 amp. fuse is adequate.

No expert, here, but...BE CAREFUL and ALWAYS have the in-line fuse in place on the OEM wiring harness, and NEVER wire directly to your fuse block W/O this, or, like I did a couple of years ago, blew a classic old PassPort! No big loss other than sentimental!

well, honestly I have no idea what types of fuses were those included in the box. However, I would contact the seller and ask for the replacement.

I used a 5 amp in mine. I would think that the original fuse would be fine for whatever circuit you are putting this in, then see what the requirements are for your dash cam and choose an appropriate fuse.

I'm not sure what you mean by a fuse need replacing. I've used the adaptor in Europe and have not blown the fuse that is located on the bottom of the device. But, if you have I would presume that you would need to replace the fuse. I hope what I've shared helps you. If not please ask me more specific questions.

It comes with a 10 amp fuse, the only reason for the fuse is it is probably smaller than fuse on that circuit in your car, so if it gets shorted or overloaded it will blow first I put a 15 amp fuse in mine and it works fine I use it in my boat and use a spotlight while charging my cell phone

Dear Demetre,I am the kind of guy who keeps useful extra items. The darn hub didn't work when it came. I read someone's comment that the power adapter was too small, so I looked in my stash of power packs [some people call them "Wall Warts!"] and found one rated 5V 1Amp. Since then, it has worked, but it's junky - the sockets do not fit smoothly. I notice that everyone else is using 3 - 5 Amps. The item they sent to me was tiny and it was much weaker than my 1 Amp unit.

In the owners manual it states. Use wall receptacle: Standard 125V, 3-wire grounding receptacle rated 15A, 125V ACPower supply: Use 15 AMP. time delay fuse or 15 AMP. circuit breaker.

So I'm not sure exactly sure but I hooked it up to a 2 AMP fuse. I did this because i took apart the car charger (the one that came with my radar detector) and inside of it it had a 2 AMP fuse. I figure that's what i should use.

I would always use a fuse in case the diode should fail in the panel or failure of your battery charging circuit/batteries. I've melted plenty of wires to know the value of a fuse. I also need to practice more of what i preach :)

On the last page of the instructions it mentions a fuse. You will have to open up the back with a small phillips screw driver, you should check that. There is a small thin silver wire that runs through the glass tube of the fuse. It is very small and hard to see. Amazon should have the fuse to purchase. 5 Qty. GMA 200mA Fast-Blow Fuse 250v GMA200mA, GMA 200 mA I try only to use the two right side ports since they are fused and I often use the wrong settings.

Get the voltage and polarity right and you should be ok. Just be careful not to fry it.

Since I haven't had to replace the fuse I'm not sure where to buy a new one, but I know that Radio Shack has a good assortment. An on-line search may also provide sources.

If 15 amps are needed, then a 25 amp fuse should be used. You want about 20% headroom over the maximum current draw. If the holder has a 30 amp fuse you can just remove it and install the correct size for your application. Do not use a 30 amp fuse for a 15 amp draw, as it could potentially cause an over current condition destroying whatever it is your trying to protect with the fuse.

The fuse provided is for your convenience. You can use whatever values of fuses suit your application. Remove from your fuse box whichever fuse you plan to replace with this add-a-circuit. Plug the add-a-circuit into the fuse box, then plug the fuse you removed into the add-a-circuit, making sure you're plugging the old fuse into the correct socket of the add-a-circuit. For me, it was the fuse socket on the bottom of the two sockets but make sure you check this with a multimeter or other circuit continuity checker. Even a simple battery and LED wired up would work. Good luck!

There needs to be an in line 20 amp fuse between the battery and the controller. I put mine near the battery.

You Could Order An Adapter For It. Or Return It For The Regular Plug, Because The One You Have Could Be The UK Plug And Not The US.

Did you try replacing the fuse? It is underneath where the plug connects on the amp. Call BK customer support if that doesn't work. They are terrific.
