Wiring the Pack Blaster with a 12V battery

I have some really basic electronics questions. How do I wire the pack blaster to my 12V battery? What type of wire should I use?

I have the Anovos pack and would like to use one of the spare switches as the power switch. I saw a thread where someone did this.

I always use “stranded” 22 gauge wiring for all my pack wiring needs.

Thanks! What connector do you recommend for connecting the battery to the board?

Dont really need one.

If you carefully cut the dc jack off, with the blue brick switch off!, there will be a red and black wire. Connect those to your battery screw terminal on the board.

Or look up DC jack screw terminal on ebay for an adapter with a dc jack on one end and a screw terminal on the other.

The default size M is the jack you need if you go that route

Thank you. I’ve managed to get power to the board.

I bought this switch. I was told it should work with the battery I have. It has four connectors. I should solder the ground from the soundboard to the yellow connector and the positive to the clear? On the opposite end do the same thing and those cables go to the battery. I know this is simple stuff, but I appreciate the help.

This thread should help. It’s what I used when I attached my rocker switch.
