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
