Accepted Answer

Sure, it will work. Call Rowe Electronics with any questions. Their customer service is excellent.

Question 2

Why would this be selling for 468.00 when they cost 199.00

Accepted Answer

Keep looking.  Factory MSRP is $199 on older unit, and $250 for newer Bluetooth  app-controlled unit.  But still not sure if new unit is made by Rowe...

Question 3

Can you leave this connected while charging your battery?

Accepted Answer

Yes.  I do, anyway.  I have the trickle charger hard wired to the battery directly and it does not cause any problems with the PDM60.

Question 4

How are the grounds wired? Looks like only Positive connections?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this is correct.  This is a small ground wire, but that is for the circuitry of the PDM-60 itself.  Think of the PDM-60 as a 6-pole switch which is fed by the (large) red wire which connects to the battery's +12V terminal.  Each auxiliary connection, then, will provide +12V to your accessories.  Each accessory's ground connection should be grounded either directly to the frame of the bike, or you can use the large black wire that is provided which is intended to be connected directly to the battery's negative terminal (or to a suitable ground).  The large eye on the end of that ground wire will receive the small bolt that is also provided in the kit.  There are also several crimp-on connectors with same-sized eyes to allow you to stack them together and bolt them to the end of the ground wire.  The full circuit path then becomes +12V -> PDM-60 (main red wire) -> Accessory +(via one of the six wires) -> Ground (via the accessory -).Another way to think of it is this: the PDM-60 is logically acting as a toggle switch that's already connected to +12V on one side.  So your accessory only has to connect to the accessory wire and any available common/ground.
