Not sure I follow you, I looked around and there are many ground point throughout the vehicle. Yes several connections are made at each point but there are many of them. This leads me to believe the frame is used abundantly

It does make sense. There are many wires leaving the positive post of the battery and only one for the negative and, that negative is connected directly to the car chassis. This mean everything running in the ultimately runs back via the metal frame of the car. That's my understanding...

Ok I get your point and that is exactly what I did for all my circuit. A red and a black creating a closed loop from my "house" battery. 100% with you on that. Less interference, cleaner design, easier to troubleshoot in case of problems, etc. What I don't get though, is whether or not I...

Ok so it is a good practice to use the chassis? I did some investigations a found that the the battery neg is connected to the chassis. The wire is probably a awg 2 (much bigger than the 4 I am using). That is the only connection on the negative side. It means everything is using the chassis...

I know the battery neg is attached to the chassis with a cable. I will check the size.

What would you consider big

Hi Out of curiosity, are the two diagrams below equivalent electrically speaking. I mean for the chassis ground. I want to use the chassis for the negative return instead of running neg wires back to each source. Thanks

Can you explain why a busbar is better? I'm using a busbar for hooking up all my other circuits but why would using a busbar for attaching my batteries be better than attaching them together? Thanks

Thank you

Both fuse blocks are on their respective batteries (SOK 206ah)... I should have mentioned it... Sorry. Then the cable exits toward a Kill Switch and Busbar. All wires are 2/0. I changed the image

Ok based on the answers above, I can do 125 for each battery, or 125 for each, and 250 for the combined. here's a drawing with two options for wiring the Fuse Terminals. In drawing A, the second fuse is combined as current from both batteries is flowing through the fuse. In drawing B I...

Perfect, I put a 125 on battery A and a 125 on battery B. If I pull (for the sake of discussion) 200 from the bank. I know the 200 will be split between the two batteries (so 100 each). The total of the two will be 200 but each will provide 100 amps each. So my question is this: what...

Thank you! 125 at the first battery terminal and 250 at the second battery terminal (equivalent to you combined).

Good Morning, Happy new year!!! I'm attaching 2 batteries in parallel (SOK 206ah). I would like to put a fuse on each battery terminal. I want the bank to be fused at 250Amp. I understand I could put a 250amp fuse at the positive terminal where the wire is exiting towards my kill...

Yes, thank you. Equal length wire for sure... my drawing skills are not that great :-) but thx for your comment
