Yep , that's the one I used , works Great !
I'm not an electrical guy and could use a bit of help and detail. I have an Onix and don't want harm it, but I really would like to work with it in the house. I ordered the Onix power cord which has 2 bare wire ends, I have a power converter similar to the Wagan with a cigarette lighter female plug and I ordered a male cigarette lighter adapter that has a 10amp fuse with 2 poles on it. Is it as simple as connecting the Onix to the poles on the male adapter with the 10amp fuse?
Is there anything I should look out for or test before I do this?
Thanks in advance for the help.
If the wires on the male cigarette plug are not marked ... You will need to discern which side is + and which wire is - ...
You can check this with an ohm meter or take the male plug apart to see which wire goes to the positive (pointed end) and which wire goes to the negative (metal ears on the side of the male plug)...
And change the 10amp fuse to a 5amp fuse (HB recommended fuse size for Onix)...

on my male plugs the center is pos and the sides are neg
now that's mine, be safe and check yours with a meter, I also put an extra inline fuse in mine 3 amp
I picked up a 4watt power supply from our local electronics recycler for $4. Soldered some alligator clips to hook on to an extra humminbird power plug. Like the idea of a that benchtop power supply though, may have to look into that.
