YouWouldKnow Posted February 11, 2017 Report Posted February 11, 2017 Hey I have a couple ideas on how to wire my new system for 2 batteries but I'm not sure which one is the best. Any ideas?
nick1488 Posted February 11, 2017 Report Posted February 11, 2017 I don't think the negative run from front to back is really needed. Just a good ground up front and one in the rear.

Mitchaford Posted February 11, 2017 Report Posted February 11, 2017 I run all my alt runs to my primary front batt and then to my bank in the back. So pic one. I've never ran runs directly from the alt my bank so i can't say whats better. 2008 VW Jetta Team Fi 12 CT 4000.1 CT 125.4 PWX 6.5 80 PRS EB Flex 2/0 Second Skin ^^^ Build ^^^

Have you had any issues at all? and how many alts and batts do you have?

Just make sure everything's fused correctly. 2008 VW Jetta Team Fi 12 CT 4000.1 CT 125.4 PWX 6.5 80 PRS EB Flex 2/0 Second Skin ^^^ Build ^^^

Okay cool! so just to make sure you went from your alt to your front battery and then your front battery to the back batteries? also where do I fuse it? right before the front battery, right after the front battery and then right before your back battery?

YouWouldKnow Posted February 11, 2017 Author Report Posted February 11, 2017 Any advice on which battery to get? There's so many options and models of batteries that I'm not too sure what the best choice is
