Adapting CP battery mount connectors to AB Gold Mount for 12V power

17 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.

What the thread found

  • When converting from a CP battery mount to an AB Gold Mount, only the black and red wires are needed for the 12V power supply to the sled
  • The three additional wires in the CP connector are part of the battery display system for monitoring and are not required for powering the equipment

Depends on

  • This information applies to 12V setups and the specific Master series model mentioned
  • The thread does not provide detailed guidance on safe connector sealing or the exact function of each additional wire
