I've actually seen people gain by going from a - run to a frame ground. Still not sold on the idea of ground runs. Especially in a daily.
I've always heard grounding batt to batt was the best way to ground. I'm tempted to take my ground run out and ground both batteries to the frame though. (Having ground issues at the moment)
It's a 2005 Malibu LS V6. That would be a long ground for me.... My rear batt is against the drivers side trunk wall, as I ran my power wire on that side. I think I'm going to find a better ground, use the Knu for that, and go ahead and run that spare Cadence to the front batt.... Can't really go wrong. Just went to kmart to pick up a fresh wire wheel and some sheet metal screw.
I don't remember the reason behind it but your not supposed to mix wires like that, your + needs to be the same as the - on a circuit. I would think you can still look up why but I don't remember where I read it.
Pfft. I gguess I fail then because all of my shit is a mix and match conglomeration from hell.
like I said , I have no clue why all I can remember is electricity flows down + through the item consuming it and back up the - line, so I guess using a different gauge wire in that circuit "could" cause an unwanted rise in impedance and a block in electrical flow.
Electron theory states it moves from negative to positive. If anything, you want your ground larger than your power since your power is the one that's fused.
I read it a LONG time ago all I could remember is it is not recommended, but thanks for the refresher. also wouldn't you still want them the same as it really wouldn't matter what direction it's flowing a smaller lead would still cause a impedance rise in the power wire?
