Five Things You Didn’t Know About the sPOD BantamX

If you're looking to take control of all your 12V accessories on your vehicle, then an sPOD BantamX is a no-brainer. The sPOD BantamX solid-state technology system provides a continuous power flow of up to 100 amps and features up to eight circuits, rated at 30 amps each. That means this system can handle incredible power to control most accessories, whether you are building a full-tilt Prerunner or overland adventure rig destined for the Rocky Mountains. sPOD gives you the power to take control and adventure further with confidence. With all the advanced technology designed into the power management systems, we wanted to tell you five things you didn't know about the sPOD BantamX. Input Control Taking factory integration to the next level, the sPOD BantamX comes standard with factory inputs, which allow you to integrate your power control module system with your vehicle's OEM equipment. It allows you to integrate things like your rock lights being programmed to come on with the door triggers or will enable you to control your sPOD with factory up-fitter switches by running wires from the input terminal to the corresponding circuits. Another great use for input controls is integrating your power control module system with your vehicle's OEM equipment. It will enable you to incorporate things like your fuel pump circuit to turn on when the ignition turns on, making it extremely convenient for a startup sequence. These are just some of the endless use cases for utilizing Input Control. Dip Switches On the sPOD BantamX power control module, there are six small dip switches that have multiple functions to control different features of the system. We know you are probably looking at these switches and are thinking, "What the heck is this?". Don't worry; we got you covered; let's dive into it. Switch 1: This engages your sPOD into Bluetooth pairing mode. All you do is flip it on, and Bluetooth is ready to pair. Switch 2: All sPOD Systems are compatible with both 12V and 24V systems that you would typically see in industrial applications. The (OFF) position signifies it is on 12V and (ON) is 24V. Switches 3 & 4: Lock-out control functions for corresponding switches #1 & #2, when working in tandem with the input triggers, enable the ability to have a lock-out function such as lockers, high beams, and even reverse light. Switches 5 & 6:  This is utilized if you want to connect multiple bantams together to utilize under one controller. There is a possibility of linking up to four Bantam units together for a total of 36 circuits. Bluetooth Each sPOD comes with built-in Bluetooth technology, enabling wireless control via the sPOD App and offering various programming options, including output dimming, strobing, flashing, and more. Switch Linking Switch linking is a great function that is standard on the sPOD BantamX. The switch-linking function can easily be controlled through the app and saved to the switch panel by selecting which circuits you want to turn on with the master circuit, and then when you select that master circuit, the corresponding circuits turn on. A great use case for this is linking an ignition circuit to a fuel pump. That way, when you turn on your ignition, your fuel pump automatically turns on. In addition, you can even have a circuit where you can link all your lights together and have them turn on all at once. HD Panel Smart Functions The HD panel is more than just a typical switch panel where you may typically turn circuits on and off. It is much more than that; it is a smart panel that includes various programmable modes for the BantamX, such as dimming, flash momentary, strobe, switch linking, and a master switch setting.   Now You Know In summary, there is a lot to learn about the sPOD BantamX, and sometimes, it can be used in very advanced applications. The sPOD BantamX offers control over 12V and 24V accessories in vehicles, boasting solid-state technology, up to 100 amps of continuous power flow, and advanced features like input and dip switches, Bluetooth connectivity, switch linking, and HD panel smart functions. With its ability to seamlessly integrate with OEM equipment and provide many different control options, the sPOD BantamX is a must-have for enthusiasts looking to take control of their power management capabilities.

How to use sPOD in a race car – Alsup Racing Can-Am Maverick X3

Building a UTV to go desert racing requires much more than just bolting a roll cage and safety seats and showing up to the start line of the Baja 1000. It requires attention to detail that includes many safety components and redundancies built in to survive the abuse that comes from the harsh desert. There are many well-equipped UTVs that race off-road, but very few are built to the attention to detail of Andrew Garvey's Can-Am Maverick X3 built by Alsup Racing Development. Of course, we had a chance to check out the race car while at King of the Hammers and see how sPOD was a crucial component when building this race car. While it is hard to say there is one component of the UTV, power management is certainly necessary. Powering the Can-Am X3 12V accessories are two sPOD BantamX HD units and one Source LT Mini6 to run up to 22 circuits in total. The sPOD BantamX solid-state technology system provides a continuous power flow of up to 100 amps and features up to eight circuits in total, rated at 30 amps each. In this system, the power management controls everything from the Baja Designs lighting to important functions such as fuel pumps, radiator fans, and GPS systems. The BantamX comes equipped with a wide range of programming options available, including output dimming, strobing, flashing, switch linking functions, memory, auto power-up, momentary settings, input, and more that can be controlled through the app as well. When racing in the desert, redundancy is key; the last thing you need is a part to fail and not have spares, which is why multiple circuits are controlled by multiple fuel pumps. Switch linking is a great function that comes standard on both the sPOD BantamX and Mini6. if you look closer, you can see a switch labeled "Party Mode," which makes the siren turn on and have the a-pillar lights flash simultaneously. The switch-linking function can easily be controlled through the app and saved to the switch panel. Another great use of the custom functions of the sPOD BantamX is the input controls. Each BantamX comes standard with factory inputs, which allow you to integrate your power control module system with your vehicle's OEM equipment. It will enable you to incorporate things like your fuel pump circuit to turn on when the ignition turns on, making it extremely convenient for a startup sequence. Alsup Racing development did a phenomenal job building this Can-Am Maverick X3, everything from the design ethos of the low-lying chassis to all the components that make this build so great. This UTV is just one of many ways you can use an sPOD power management system in race cars.
