Manage your bike’s electrical system with a sophisticated intelligent device controller. The advanced technology Neutrino Black Box is available in two highly configurable versions, allowing automatic programming and control of your electrical accessories, Bluetooth interface and convenient monitoring with functional access via free app on your iPhone or Android device.

The entry-level Element provides robust features and control options for your power distribution needs. The waterproof, shockproof unit installs easily and eliminates the need for a jumble of wires and aftermarket switches, controllers and relays. Handles 60 amps over 6 circuits. Fully CANbus compatible too. Programable circuit breakers can function as switched, variable or ignition activated operation. Once programmed, it can control your devices automatically.

Or, pair with your mobile device for on-the-fly heading information, altitude, ambient temperature, speed, and time displays. Also allows garage door activation and/or servo activation using optional adapters. Provides a composite view of the electrical system showing the status of all 6 circuits with real-time amperage use. Automatically shuts down circuits if they draw too much current or your battery gets too low, all with advanced fuseless circuit protection. And of course it’s easy to manually control the 6 circuits with a glove-friendly interface.

The enhanced Aurora version of the Neutrino does everything the Element can do, plus enhanced automation features including circuit activation based on pre-programmed Temperature, Speed and Time/Sunset based activation (it even adapts to your current location), circuit linking for powering up to 30 amp circuits, deceleration activated brake light flashing and headlight pulsing mode. The entry-level Element’s programming can also be upgraded to add all of the additional features of the Aurora if you are looking for enhanced functionality in the future (at an additional cost).

The controller app runs in the foreground or background on both models, so you can listen to music, get turn by turn directions, and have completely automated control of your bike’s electrical accessories at all times. Makes your riding experience easier, more comfortable and safer....with or without your smart phone. Compact 2"×3"×.9" size. Made in USA

Editorial Review: Arborial Systems Neutrino Black Box

Advanced battery technology that works much better (and longer) than even the best conventional lead acid batteries. These batteries are more powerful and dependable. Cranking amp ratings are double to triple regular types. They have an 8 year design life, an ultra long shelf storage life and a low self-discharge rate—after sitting for months (without any trickle charge) it’ll start. Deep cycle reserve power provides sufficient amps for confident starts even when 70% discharged.

Odyssey batteries have superior vibration resistance, a tough ABS case, and are lighter, too. Air shippable and non-spillable “starved-electrolyte” design. Works right out of the box with no charging needed. The California Highway Patrol use these batteries because with the engine off they must run their flashing lights and radios. 12V 14Ah. Cranking power range (depending on model): 100-380A. Weight: 6-26 lbs. Size range: 5.43"–7.27"×3.11"–7.05"×3.98"×6.67".

Super-high density oxide plate design combined with NanoGel Electrolyte technology increases surface area, giving superior cranking amps, quicker charging, more power, less sulphation and twice the life expectancy of traditional batteries. Strong ABS case uses special top-cap design that makes this a true maintenance free battery, completely eliminating leakage and acid spills. 12V. Cranking power range (depending on model): 110-340A depending on application. Weight: 7.7-19 lbs. Size range: 5.27"-8"×2.7"–4.8"×4.13"-6.7". Air-shippable.

The best of their kind. By far. Perfectly sized for keeping in a rolled MC tool kit. These go beyond the rest with better design features and faultless metallurgy. A push button quick-adjust slide mechanism gets the jaws sized fast with one hand, and cushioned grips let you apply more force. The Cobra’s box-jointed jaws will grip just about anything. The unique locking slide adjustment jaw minimizes damage to bolts and fasteners. Spreads far enough for oversized steering stem nuts! The Cobra (7.25"×1.5"×0.5", 6.1 oz.) is made of chrome vanadium electric steel that is oil-hardened with a jaw hardness of 60 HRC.

These drivers are ready for hard duty with a special magnetized and hardened steel shank and tang-thru design. Hard resin base with a softer resin covering for stable screwing and a soft, comfortable feel in your hand. Available in JIS Cross-points and slotted drivers, in three shank lengths.
