Good evening peeps
does anyone know how much power the XT draws when powered on, assuming full volume and brightness.
Xt power draw
Re: Xt power draw
Thank you for the link, however, there doesn't seem to be a definitive answer, I want to know what size fuse to use in my Fuzeblock.

Re: Xt power draw
2A is what the charging converter is rated at
5A would be fine
I would be going 10A to be on the safe side
Re: Xt power draw
I think 10 amp is a bit ott
I have a 5 amp at the moment, I would be very surprised and slightly worried if it blew the 5 amp fuse.

Re: Xt power draw
In reality you can put any fuse above 5A and if it blew I would be worried as its indicates a fault
As I say 5A will suffice just carry a 10A spare just incase

Slow blow, I think the conversation from here on in could end up in the gutter, so let's call it done eh?

Re: Xt power draw
Sorry to say that the XT power consumption is not listed in its manual or anywhere on the Interwebs that I can find. However, I do still have my zumo 660 manual and it says maximum consumption is 10 watts. So crank in a fudge factor for the XT having a brighter screen and call it 12 watts as a semi-educated guess. That would come out to one amp draw from a 12-volt battery ( a bit less when the engine is running and the alternator is supplying 14 volts).
