    The Healtech Thunderbox, TB-U01 & TB-U02, provides an ignition switched, overload protected and easily accessible way to connect electrical accessories to your motorbike. Join me as I install the 2 x 16A version (TB-U02) to my Yamaha FZ1-N, alongside the Healtech USB Charging accessory (TB-USB1) and give them both a test.

    It took me 2 years to finally watch a video about a motorcycle combiner box for this add-ons.
    As until today I was using switch connectors, which with time became a mess.

  • @MichaelPickles

    Tip: Before you strip the wire there is a strip marker on the side of the wago connector. Line the wire up with that and stip to that length. Just so you don't have bare wire sticking out the end.

    • @AndyManCam
      @AndyManCam  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      You mean the black wire? The ground? It’s possible i might have connected them to a point on the frame. One way or another, you need the ground to make the accessory work. But often you can ground on to the frame and that itself is connected to the negative terminal of the battery.

      Even now, how many motorcycles still don't have usb charging port? self-canceling indicators? combined and boosted brakes?

    • @AndyManCam
      @AndyManCam  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You could connect the ignition wire (white one) and have a switch on that circuit. But that would then switch off everything connected to the TB. Otherwise a switch between the Spotlights and the connection to the TB would do the trick. Of course depending on the draw of your spotlights, you might want to think about putting a relay in there.

    Hey Andy,
    Honestly Thank You for posting this video👍. I haven’t heard of this option before. What a fantastic device to control multiple devices. Hopefully after this virus has finally passed I was intending in getting a couple of adventure bikes. I was wondering how I’d go about wiring heated grips, chargers, accessories without having to piggyback connections or splice into wiring for a power supply and try and keep it all to a minimum and tidy.
    This is a god sent for motorcycle wiring 👍.
    Awesome!
    So easy to install as well and factory set...amazing 😀. I’ll definitely be looking into the availability of this device when the time comes.

I've got the "official" Yamaha grips which auto-detect the bike switching off and turn themselves off, but I like this better, "enforced shutdown"! ;) :) I don't think it's advisable to splice a heating element into an ignition circuit, which wasn't designed to take that kind of current...(which is why they are designed to connect direct to the battery) :)

    Ever have an issue/conflict with the Oxford Heated Grips intelligent controller? Normally it would monitor the power and switch off the grips if you forget. But if connected to the TB it loses power altogether. Thought I saw where someone said they had an issue turning them back on or at least there was a long delay before he could get power to the controller. Other than that, brilliant product and video!

    • @AndyManCam
      @AndyManCam  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I didn’t, but i did have a problem whereby my Daytona heated grips would switch off whenever i stopped at the lights and the bike was ticking over. Healtech told me that it was because mine was the first batch and it was fixed with firmware on all after that. When i eventually did switch to oxford grips, i connected straight to the battery, as the intelligent controller always worked well for me before so i didn’t see the need to double up on the protection. Then the grips proceeded to kill the battery the first time i parked the bike 🤦🏻‍♂️ After that they never worked properly again and now i have factory fitted KTM grips on the 1090 that i replaced the Honda with.

  • @bikersquest
    @bikersquest 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Interesting, I have a Innov powerhub (V1) on my FZ1 it needs a switched live which I connected to the number plate light using a posi-lock. It has a 5-10 second delay so even if the ignition's on you can use full battery power to crank the bike. I'm surprised it took this long for a company to bring out one of these without the need of a switched live considering heated grips and other accessories which can detect a bike not running existing for a while now.
    BTW if you use an SAE tender cable you can use Optimate's USB adapter which auto shuts off if the battery hits 12.5V without any ignition being on (SAE cable is connected direct to the battery)

    @__Max-oe6zm 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Good overview, just wanted to confirm something. So I assume the thunderbox "knows" the engine is running because it detects the higher 13+volts from the bike's charging system. So in order to plug in a battery tender, the only way to prevent the thunderbox mistakenly thinking the bike is running, you have to dig out the thunder box, dig out the white wire every time and then connect it to the black?
    If that's the case I assume connecting the white wire to an ACC power might prevent all that, but then you'd loose the "only while engine is running" function. hmmm
    Also connecting the permanent lead plug for the battery tender would still require attaching directly to the battery, in addition to the thunder box yeah?

    • @AndyManCam
      @AndyManCam  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I’m afraid i didn’t delve into that too much as i never had power in the garage. But i did eventually end up connecting the white wire anyway, as it allowed me to keep power to the USB sockets even when the bike was off.

    The product seems to be unavailable here in the colonies. Neither of the dealers listed for USA on the Healtech page list it. Motobatt makes a 4-terminal battery, but that does not provide the auto-shutoff function to prevent draining when the engine is off.
