Lbox88 Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 Go ahead and install it in the back, do the Big 3 with 1/0, do a 1/0 positive run to the back batt from the front, and find a good ground in the back for the negative. At least once a week, just be sure to put it on a charger to make sure the batteries get topped off since your alt won't fully charge them up.

Lbox88 Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 You can fuse the alt+ to battery if you want, a lot of people don't. Do 1/0 from alt+ to front batt+ 1/0 alt casing to front batt - 1/0 front batt - to frame/strut tower 1/0 front batt+ to back batt+ with a fuse at both ends by the batteries 1/0 back batt - to frame UBL | Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
