- Read each output label before connecting: 8 V, 12 V, 14.8 V D-Tap, and 5 V USB are not interchangeable.
- Clamp to a rigid 15-30 mm section and position the battery so its weight improves balance rather than twisting the mount.
- Add the draw of all devices, check D-Tap polarity, and power down before changing cables.
- Confirm the V-lock and crab clamp are fully engaged, then add strain relief so cable pulls cannot rotate the plate.
