Little help with battery hook up please!

[MicahH]

Hey all! Slightly embarrassing but I forgot the stock dual battery set up for my 2016 AR240. I had it winterized in the fall and they pulled out my batteries for me but forgot to snap a quick pic! I remember how to hook up my amps etc but was hoping someone could post a couple pics of how the connections are hooked up from the dealer in the stock dual battery set up? Would be super helpful as I get ready to pull it out for the season and fine tune my stereo setup and addition of a drain LED...thanks!

Hope it helps

Awesome, definitely will...I can't see and don't remember...is there a jumper cable that connects the batteries in parallel? I believe it's parallel as you can switch between the start and system battery.

 

[Chip F.]

Yes there is a jumper connection to the negative posts

Thanks Chip!

@Chip F. , you do have covers on those terminals normally, right? Please say yes... Otherwise, you should get some. 33 CFR 183.420 (b), plus it is much safer.

I haven't added anything over stock set up but I agree. That's a great idea. Too easy to have something random happen.

Does the pic have covers or is that the proper setup?

 

[tdonoughue]

No, the pic does not have covers. The covers look like this: https://www.amazon.com/Crimp-Supply-Military-Battery-Terminal/dp/B01FMZ2YYW/ref=sr_1_5?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1493262891&sr=1-5&keywords=terminal+covers
(just a sample; there are many styles)

Looks like I will be getting some - Thanks for the heads up!
