Nearest you can get to battery

I have mine mounted on the bulkhead under the drivers seat so I can reset or trip it as I need.

Make your own cables, make them fit out of way of heat or anything that could cut them.
The shorter the better, less voltage drop more capacity.


I'll add a lot more pictures to my build thread once I'm feeling frisky enough to go take them.

Did you just wire it straight to the first Battery or did you put an isolator in

Isolator is in the last picture. I've got it wired and somewhat cleaned up. I have to swap the PDM60 out for a new one. Circuit 6 has noise in it for some reason.

I crawled off the couch and took a few pictures. I edited my original post.

That's exactly the setup I wanted to do. But apparently Canada is a black hole for new things.

I couldn't find a decent isolator. So currently I am just running a single yellow top and have unhooked the factory battery.

There's a 1.5-1.75" bar running directly under the middle of my battery, it's already there from factory.

That's why my tie down is slightly off center.

I have another piece of aluminum just like on the top on the underside of the plastic so it is basically clamping the battery in place.

welded a flat bar between side frame rail and then enclosed the battery in a metal optima trail case from sumit and bolted it to the bar. Let me know if you need additional pics

New to site. Just getting around to rigging out my 700-4. Do y'all recommend one optima or dual batteries? What all item will I need to hook them up?
