Are there any general guides or good resources for learning how to safely tap into main Ebike batteries for a 12v DC-DC converter that will power commonly found 12v lights + handlebar controls? Most of the YouTube videos I find for this are not in English. Ebike school only has a guide for powering lights/accessories from an external battery.
My goal is to power 12v LED front/rear lights from the main Ebike battery : front/rear/and handle bar controls/turn signals + flasher relay
I am also a bit confused about what is a safe/recommended way to minimize risk of damaging battery/bms/controller/my home?
Inline fuses, breakers, where to add them, where to buy them and what models should be used? Terminal blocks a good idea for the lights wiring?
I have one Battery 48V with 30Amp continuous BMS (small anderson connector) and also will soon upgrade to a 72V battery 100 amp continuous BMS (Xt60). Also have a 12V DC-DC converter up to 15Amp that works with 48-120V. I'm guessing I should start by getting an Anderson to xt60 adapter and then a xt60 Y cable with one output going to the DC-DC converter and other output to controller? Not sure where I should add any inline fuses or breakers or which ones to use. I have tools for crimping and soldering cables.
Thanks in advance
