Hi there,
I'm attempting to hook up dual batteries and using a perko switch, I was told to run (+) on batt 1 to #1 post on perko and (+) on batt 2 to # 2 post on switch, all wires currently hooked on (+) on stock battery to the common post on perko, I also got told to run (+) from alternator to common post on perko..so far is this correct?? That all sounds ok to me, the question I have is about the grounds, I know I need to hook the (-)s of batt 1 to batt 2 together, but if all the (-)s are connected to the studs on the batt does the connector ground have to be (-) stud to (-) stud, or can I connect the (-)s on the batteries from (-) post to (-) post, as I have both (-)posts and (-) stud on both of the batteries?? Also the next question about the grounds is.. Does it matter which battery the grounds are connected to or is it once the (-)s on the batteries are connected to eachother, it all becomes essentially one big ground connection and won't matter what wire goes to what (-) they are all 1?? If soome people on here can set me straight and confirm that the way I am wiring it is correct that would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks in advance!
