Yes you need to ground your 2nd battery!
If you do Batt1 ground to Batt2 ground, place a fuse inbetween just incase of a shortage. It'll safe your electrical. ( TRUST ME ).

I'm running mine like:

Batt 1 Ground to Frame

Batt 1 Ground - 300A ANL Fuse - Batt 2 Ground

Batt 2 Ground to Frame to another bolt on Frame

Then:

Batt 1 Power Wire - 300A ANL Fuse - Batt 2 Power

Batt 2 Ground/Power to Capicator

Capicator to Amps

I haven't completed my Big 3 yet... On my last stage. ( Alt to Engine Block to Frame )

You DO NOT need to fuse the power AND the ground. Just one or the other.

But then again, you are using a capacitor so you must be a tard...

So what do you guy's think?

Anyone what you think?

Hmm... Most of people do think caps are a " waste of money ". But I like the way the look on an install, plus I see the difference with and without one. It's working for me, and always has, so... Everyone is entitle to his/her opinion.

And as far as being a " Tard " ... HAHA! Seriously.... Hmmm... Well like I said " Everyone is entitle to his/her opinion. "

I fused both for the simple fact.... ( If you weren't a " TARD " you'd know this )

- I grounded Batt2 to the Batt 1 Ground Terminal.... Also, grounded Batt2 to the frame. Since 2 objects that have CURRENT or CONSTANT POWER are connected, Fusing is REQUIRED!... -

And I like the pictures... That's a perfect spot for you 2nd batt. Now you can use you entire cargo area... Plus the 2nd row seats... HAHAHAHA!

They're a band-aid. They don't fix anything; but could possibly cover up the problems that you have yet to fix. Physics isn't opinionated.
