[QUOTE="nate0, post: 8722306, member: 674948"] Yes. I ground to my battery because it is going to have multiple spots too, like a bus and easily accessible. In the back and because I built a buss bar for the battery yes all my grounds hit the battery buss first. If you have separate bus bars you can ground there then to the battery then frame, either way it is the same thing. The main thing is having equal grounds capacity for your positive runs. The current needs ample room to roam, length is not always a factor unless you just do like one ground or just are limited due to some other reason, and need a short stubby. It take the path of least resistance, and even if you have like huge 4/0 and 4 runs at like 5-8ft I doubt you will have issues with heat due to ground. You could have a short stubby ground but the place you choose to ground it could be poor... Try whatever it is you want to do, you will know if there comes an issue due to grounding. [/QUOTE]
