MyNameIsNoob Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 With a 370 amp alternator, is there a need to run more than one 0g power wire connecting the alternator, 2 batteries under hood and the 2 secondary batteries in the cab of a truck? If you're using dual inputs on your amps, I'm wondering if using a second run of power wire will help get the juice from the alternator to the batteries more efficiently, or if it will be needless money spent?
