Secondary Battery


Recommended Posts

Posted

Question is about connecting multiple amps to a battery. I want to run power wires directly to the battery in the trunk. Also maybe even the grounds. Back and forth between getting a dist. block for them or run strait back. Can I connect multiple leads to the terminals of the battery? And do I need to fuse those wires. I know better safe than sorry but is it needed? My amps are all fused. 3 amps. XS Power 950 batt.

Also if I use dist blocks (I will make) can I have a 4g in with 3, 4g outs?

What vehicle is this going in?

Ground to the frame in the rear is the best option most often. Front to back ground runs have their place, but not in most daily set ups.

Fuse any wire that touches a battery within 18" of the battery. The fuses aren't to protect amps, they are to protect people.

You will make your own distribution blocks? Cool! Do you mean bus bars or actual blocks? To answer your question you can configure them however you want boss.

Welcome to the forum BTW.

Just a bit of advice, when posting a question the more relevant info you provide the better answers you will get.

In this case, for example, if you were to provide info on the vehicle type and the electrical setup that would help.

Thanks for the tips on the forum. It is a bit confusing but ill get the hang of it. It is a 2000 Chevy cavalier. Big 3, stock alt, xs power xp950 secondary. My grounds are in a great place, sanded and bolted. So ill just leave em where they are. Just trying to save a little on wireing. Thanks for the help.
