[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 467945, member: 15636"] Simple enough job, just be sure to use good quality components. I buy my electrical stuff from Del-City, even make up my own battery cables using one of those ‘sledge-hammer’ powered mechanical crimpers. Don’t skimp on using adhesive-lined heatshrink, makes a good job better and adds YEARS to the longevity and reliability. Remember that the total ‘ampacity’ for your circuits will be the total length FROM the battery TO the load and BACK again, so if only 10’ away, that’s at least a 20’ run for factoring the correct wire size. Too many miss this key detail ... [/QUOTE]
