[QUOTE="awholelotofnutz, post: 8582344, member: 667115"] Need some advice and Q's answered on how I should go about doing this. I searched and seen people online just run the positive to the rear and connect to positive on battery and then just gound to frame. But I have a dedicated 4/0 positive and 4/0 negative ran from my hood battery to the rear to my second batts. I want to do dual alt with my stock alt in the stock location (for now until I upgrade) and my ea 300 in a custom bracket where my battery is now, it's the only place I can fit it without removing ac and that's not happening with these hot SC days. 1. Can I just run all my existing + and - wires that are on the hood battery tops to a distro block and then use my existing 4/0 wires to the rear batteries. 2. Will there be a greater chance of voltage drop relocating the battery. 3. The starting battery is a 55amp AGM and the 2 rear a 105amp AGM of the same make and model. Will running 2 different sizes hurt them. 4. Will a frame ground be better in the situation. Also big 3 has been done up front. If anyone has any input or the way they would or have done it would be a great help. Thank you [/QUOTE]
