battery ground

[jacka 10+ year member]

is it beneficial in anyway to have two 0 gauge grounds for my battery? i created a new ground for the battery since i used the stock ground location for the previous upgrade. so i decided (i mustve been bored) to have two grounds of kolossus 0 gauge. one at the stock ground location, one at the new, sanded down, ground location. will it make any difference or help in any way?

Can't hurt...most likely serious overkill unless you're consistently drawing several hundred amps //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

but definately wont hurt anyhting and is great if you ever upgrade to a larger drawing system in the future

I had the stock ground and a 1/0 gauge ground where the stock one is at and yesterday I found a spot on the frame where something was grounded so I cleaned it up and added another 1/0 gauge ground.

Total I have...

Stock ground to chassis and engine block

2 1/0 gauge ground to chassis

1 1/0 gauge ground from engine block to batt

1 4 gauge ground from engine block to chassis.

In a case like that your chassis is going to be the limiting factor on voltage drops, not the connection between the battery and the chassis.

It's not a bad thing it just isn't necessary.
