Looks like a 7805-regulator is supplying the OVMS module with +5V @ 1.5A max.
 
 
80mA won't be a problem then.

It may be a problem to get the 5V from the output of the regulator, but the nice thing about that module is that it is isolated; you can connect your own power supply and be 100% safe. These relays draw about 80mA each (just tested them, I have the same product at home), so if you turn them on one at a time and for short periods of time it should be ok (I don't know a lot about the termal design of the OVMS).

Hello
 
My knowledge of electronics is limited.
 
As far as I understand the OVMS module is supplied with +12V via the OBD connector. What I don't understand is where the +5V comes from?
 
 
I'm currently trying to control a relay using the RC3 output on the PIC18F2580 as a control signal to a rely on a relay module
 
 
The relay module needs to be supplied with +5V to drive the relays, and my plan was to get the +5V from the OVMS module using pin 13 on the HEADER 9X2.
 
But I'm afraid I might blow something on the OVMS module if the relay module draws to many mA.
 
Any advice would be appreciated.
