[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8270873, member: 614752"] I'd mix match the batteries to add more if I had them, but others may argue or have some evidence to make a case against. Just make sure all load test good for sure as one dud will hurt the rest (though this should be done periodically even if they're identical). Personally I run grounds to multiple points on the body from my battery bank. Dunno if it helps, but short scraps of 1/0 are cheap and it can't hurt. I've never bothered running - from the amp(s) to the front (again I think might help more if you are limited to only the under the hood battery). All alternators chasis' should be grounded to the frame for sure. If the box is 1.5 inches all around it should be pretty solid. This is easily verified by just holding your hand on it when your banging on it. If you can feel the box vibrating you're losing output. Do you own a meter? Are you chasing 10ths or just looking to do a new build because you enjoy doing it? I'd expect you have an uphill battle to make any big gains from where you're sitting there since things look quite sound. [/QUOTE]
