Pete Kildow Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 Bought Remote Battery Terminal's,To mount on my T600. Takes way to long to get to the Battery's. remove step, side panel, 2 covers over battery's. So adding these Remote Post. That way if I need to charge the battery's. Its easy to get to the terminal's. If for some reason I had to jump it off, again easy to get to the terminals. Now I'm stuck on the size wire to use? I have some 2 gauge Tinned OFG I could use. Will only be 3ft long on both Positive and Negative. But fear it may be small and take longer to move the power? I also have some HD 2/0 welding cable left over also. But man its a hand full to route. What size would be good? And transfer power the best? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickeieio Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 Go with the 2/0, run it through a piece of garden hose for an added layer of protection.

Steve from SoCal Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 I have an Anderson connector on my truck as well, I used 2/0 cable to the batteries about 4-4 feet. My batteries are at the back of my truck and I ran 4/0 up the frame, 4/0 is though, 2/0 is just hard. I used some 1" hose as sleeve over the frame. I made up a charging plug with about 15" of cable for charging, I have 16' 2/0 jumper cables as well.

Scrap Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 Mounted under hood and 2/0 to the starter if you want them to be jumpstarts too. Or 4/0 to the batteries from back of sleeper to be jumpstarts as well. 2/0 to batteries will be remote batt terminals and after some time it'll start. Don't mount the studs anywhere near the end of one of your fuel tanks, unless there is some other big bracket or frame part between the end of the tank and the studs. T600 stacked batteries in the fairing were fun.....I forgot about them.😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought about putting a jumper to the battery, and starter. But will just run to the battery box. This will be mounted right to the cab outside frame mount. It has holes in it from the factory. Just bold my bracket to that. And 3ft or less to battery's. And yes those T600 Stacked Batteries are fun for sure. Picture of where mine are mounted. I know scrap knows where there at. But most don't know. Click For Full-Size Image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
