Second batt wiring


Recommended Posts

Posted

When in doubt fuse it... Most people don't fuse in between batteries because runs are so short so half the time it would be hard to even ground out. I would say if you feel comfortable without a fuse between batts don't do it. I don't and I think there are a lot of other users on here that don't either

will it be alright to run the wire from front batt to back without a fuse for a few days till can order one?

1. postive to postive... Never postive to neg.
2. if long run of wire fuse both ends.
3.agm battery work with other AGM battery not lead acid , so do not mix!
4.EXTRA! DO not need its just a thought to keep it safe and put a volt meter on both batteries

also make sure all bolts are tight and also have good clean grounds.
thats all i can think of.

some people are douchebags. Ignore em ;) But yeah, dude above answered your question. Positive on front batt. to positive on back batt. Don't need a fuse from batt. to batt., just a fuse from your second batt. to your amp.

Wrong! What happens if there if the wire grounds out on the chassis? please explain

You hook your shit up right and that doesn't happen :) Been running a battery in the front to a battery to the back for about 2 years now, and I've NEVER had a single problem without their being a fuse in between batteries.

Sure, If you have to do that... I would personally wait.

i have a fuse in my run from front to back, but i have an escalade with 3 runs. i just didnt want to take any chances. its really up to you. how much exposure are you going to have with the wire? thats what you have to think about.
