[QUOTE="wingless, post: 8601412, member: 670965"] What safety provisions have been designed into the modification? For example, if the power feed disconnects at the rear battery, shorting the main battery to ground, what protection has been provided for that fault? The converse question also applies, if the rear-to-front power feed disconnects at the front and shorts to ground, what is the protection? There should be appropriate fusing or circuit breakers added to protect from faults. Why not just connect the two new rear battery grounds w/ short fat wires to the chassis? The two new batteries should be connected in parallel, then treated as one. The two new batteries should be mechanically secure. The new battery mounting should permit the normal / expected expansion / contraction that occurs during charging and usage. The new battery / wiring positive lugs should be protected from short circuits. [/QUOTE]
