To all who keep asking on battery placement

1300 cold cranking amps, summits remote kit, arco solar charger.

Take that 120 lbs and put it where it counts!

Its really like 1275 or something, 1300 is combined. Both bats. The ca is prob 1400 est, ill look tom for exact numbers,

Btw. To all! Make sure u use a saftey disconnect. My setup in this pic dones not yet have one.

With 1000amps grounding... Oh boy. Thats a welder and quickly a bomb.

86c20: i reccomend u research how many amps ur starter draws, and compair it to the national wire guage chart to estimate if summits kit is big enough, mines right at the limit of 300a on this line with DIRECT FRAME CONTACT.

You may need to order 2 kits and run two positives to the starter to support that amperage draw.

Addition: i used wire wrap, wire loom, and heat tape to get my amperage ratings safe from insulative arch through

wire sizing is ok with me. (work on generators) was thinking about getting some double 00 to run. same thing they run on semis think i can get it cheap lol. i would do bat to starter on the pos and neg then starter to frame. and then frame back to bat. had to do that on my dads ss chevelle. worked well after that.

Sounds good, just keep in mind thats a long run. And k
Charging the frame as a ground is proven to accelerate rust/corrosion. So if they salt the roads in mass id coat the frame at least.
Just some thoughts! I think this will work well for you, handeling i noticed was loads better, took her to 115 and noticed the rear slumped in a better manner, calmed down like a dart.

Also i highly reccomend an intruder switch on the container the batts will be in, mine has a dead man switch wired into the door sensor on alarm module so no one can just disconnect batt , shatter window, pop in nuteral and roll away. Hahha

How long does it take to change a battery?? Lol

Givin water level is good, 2 seconds-10 hrs depending on amperage selected on charger. Always charge a dead batt with the lowest amperage, perferablely 5a at 13-14v. Monitor your batterys voltage CONSTANTLY. Should b about 12.80 v dc.

ALWAYS ADHEAR TO BATTERY CHARGERS MANUAL

ALWAYS KEEP BAKING SODA NEAR AND FOLLOW PROPER SAFTEY TECHNIQUES.

Acid burns are nasty, believe me. Baking soda saves lives.

PERFORM AT YOUR OWN RISK
