2nd battery question


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have added a battery in the trunk (xs power d3400) and I also have one under the hood. Would it benefit me to make a run of 1/0 from the alternator(mechman 270amp) to the back battery to go along with the 1/0 power and ground I already ran back there?

i dont think it would hurt, but i would think its overkill big time. just make sure you have a solid 1/0 or larger from alt to batt and alt to ground up front, then a solid 1/0 from front to back and you should be good to go

well played! good point, i believe thats true as well, but to justify the $100-120 you will spend in 1/0 and two more fuse holders, i dont think you will see much of a gain

Overkill is ok with me lol. I am running kicker 1/0 gauge oxygen free copper wire (hyper flex) I also have 2 runs from alt to front battery and good clean grounds. I am going to be running a pair of strapped aq2200's soon and I wanna have the best electrical possible

Uhhh honestly youll be fine lol..... youd be fine w/ one 1/0 run from the alt to the battery in the front, and then one 1/0 run from the pos battery in front to pos battery in the back. then ground the rear batt to somewhere on the chassis and the amp to the battery...

I didnt know you already had it that overkilled...lol. I wouldnt spend the extra 35$ on 1/0 cuz at 2.45$ a ft it adds up. youll spend atleast 25 on the 1/0 if u find it cheap. then about 7$ for a fuse and fuse holder...maybe more. But you can always make ur own fuse holder for under a buck...

But yeah yoll be fine with what u got lol.
