run both + and - to batt bank or not?


Recommended Posts

My car has a unibody and not a frame. I have 2 batteries in my battery bank in the trunk and 1 under the hood. I was just wondering can I run just the 1 1/0 awg positive wire from the front to the back. Then ground to the chassis in the trunk and under the hood. And still be ok with power. Or should I run both a positive and negative wire from the front to the battery bank to get more power.

Thanks for the help

2 runs

1 of positive one of negative just in parallel will work fine

That's what I would do

honestly, there isn't a whole lot of metal in that unibody that actually touches. Sopt welds and seam sealer and bole/screws hold it together. I would run the ground from the front.
