Part Five Of The End - Project Jinxy 1994 Dodge Ram 4x4 Part 5
I ran a 2.0-gauge cable for the ground wire to the engine, and 2.0-gauge positive cables to the starter and auxiliary battery. 4.0-gauge cable was more than enough to run the short distance to the factory fuse box that does not pull a very large load.
It may seem a bit strange that I used a smaller battery as the main and a larger battery for the auxiliary. The main battery is used only to power the factory fuse box, the starter, and the low amperage Hella HID lights that will be going on the front of the truck. All the stereo equipment, the power inverter, and the rear-mounted Warn winch will be run off of the auxiliary battery, so it made sense to use a battery with a longer reserve capacity for that. They both get charged from the alternator at around 14 volts, so there is really no reason that you have to have any specific size as your main or auxiliary battery as long as the main produces enough amperage to crank your starter over. Electrical demands are different for every custom vehicle, so you'll have to decide what would be the best package for you. View Related Article
