The sPOD BantamX BX-MOD-84-R is a compact, intelligent 8-circuit power distribution system designed to eliminate hours of custom wiring for 12V/24V accessories. With its small footprint and single ethernet cable connection to the cab, this modular system provides a clean, professional solution for powering lights, winches, air compressors, and other aftermarket electrical accessories.
Core System Features:
- 8 independently controlled circuits rated at 30 amps each at 12.5 VDC (expandable)
- Fully programmable digital control via built-in Bluetooth and free sPOD mobile app
- Current-sensing MOSFETs with microprocessor control—no traditional fuses or relays to replace
- Self-healing fault protection system (1.5 to 30 amps) with automatic recovery
- Integrated low voltage cutoff (LVCO) battery protection with optional override
- 50-amp auto-resetting circuit breaker for main power protection
- Works with both 12VDC and 24VDC electrical systems
- 84-inch nylon braided battery cables with high-strand crosslinked copper and silicone jacket
- Daisy chain up to 4 BantamX units controlled by one touchscreen
