So I see where Mechman says not to use two connections in a blanket statement. Then later says back battery bank can backfeed? causing an issue, but no one said anything about back batteries..... What about people with a single underhood battery and H/O alt? No one shoul dhave extra runs?

I think theyre pretty neat. When the water runs down your crack as you let one out... its like shitting in a crockpot.

i think the heated stud argument relies on the alt stud being the central connection point between rear and front batteries. If I am following this correctly.

Not everyone is wired the same. I have 2 runs off of the alt but its going straight to my rear bank then from there through step downs to a small 12v in the front.

I assume this makes me "safe" ?

Nope.. the 2 connections on the one stud is the issue where are talking about now... Where they go dont matter.

We are speaking of 2 connections at the ONE alt stud.

I call BS. If the connections are tight the alt stud doesn't care if it has two lugs on it.
