DUBIE Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 ok so a couple of mins ago i wired a extra battery at the back..(trunk)...but i ran out of 1/0 wire...so i just added (1) 1/0 to (+) to battery and (+) to amp...with no ground...would it keep the voltage on the battery maintained or would it discharge it...?..i taught it would keep it charged since the amp is wired to the other battery in the hood and i just added a extra battery wired straight to the amp... any suggestions?.. if its bad tell me A.S.A.P so i could remove it...

Noobtastic14 Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 nothing will happen if there is no ground. voltage is electron pressure flowing from high pressure (+) to low pressure (-) if there is no low pressure there is no transfer. -Drew Quote I am a United States Military Arts and Crafts Professional.

dmanson Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 if you are out of 1/0 and you have some 4 ga around you can use 3 short lengths of ga from the battery negative to frame until you get some 1/0 for ground.
