Voltage Reducer 5 to 30 Amp?
So I purchased a 36v to 12v 5 amp reducer. I didn't really take in to account how many amps I would need for my accessories. I was contemplating a radio/system but am currently happy with my Bluetooth speaker so I will just have LED Head/Tail Lights, an LED Bar or Two, LED wire Lights and I have 6 rocker panel to control them with USB charging ports and voltage meter. My question is what kind of amps do I really need. should I upgrade to 30 amp to be safe or will a 20 amp be more than enough. Or am I fine with the 5 amp since the LED's have a low draw?

The only good voltage reducers come from cartsunlimited.net- the $10 ones don’t last. I have a pile of them.

Re: Voltage Reducer 5 to 30 Amp?
I'll admit, I did purchase one of the cheaper 5 amp ones. Below are the two models I am currently looking at. I can get them cheaper than the advertised price, just looking for input on how many amps I realistically need. I may opt for the 30 just because the price difference isn't that much.

I'm with Luke on this. You can get the same or a better reducer from Scottyb for half the price of the ones you're looking at... |

I use ONLY site sponsors, unless I'm buying or selling used stuff.

Re: Voltage Reducer 5 to 30 Amp?
I appreciate the advice for the site to use, but I am going to get it locally if I can get it for a comparable or cheaper price because I am ordering some other things as well. I am not paying the retail price for the links I sent. I really am just looking for input on how many amps I realistically need.

Re: Voltage Reducer 5 to 30 Amp?
I got one of those ebay ones, cost 15 bucks and has been working for about 5 months now. I haven't had a problem with it yet. If I do I can replace it for very little $$. Or I can buy a higher end one. I wired mine like this with a cut off switch.
