    I also have the USI-160 kit. I didn't have enough thread on that teminal to do anything with so I ended up getting a new earth lead made up for the aux battery and ran it down to the bolt on the chassis. That way I didn't have to stuff around with that flimsy terminal.

    When I finally get my Piranha tray this week (ordered in January ) my plan is to re-wire so that I have a single positive running to the ex-box and run all the wiring from the back to there instead of the current temporary bird's nest I have in the battery compartment. I'll then earth the ex-box back to the bolt on the chassis too.

    Cheers,
    Jon

    Easier to add additional accessories if needed IMO, and same specs as a yellow top.
    Mitch, which one?

    Also, what's a good type of negative terminal to use? There's not much room in there with a dual battery setup...

    I used the Optima P/N D34M. It's a BCI Group 34 size optima with the blue top, grey sides, and the SAE posts and threaded terminals.
    Its a hybrid style AGM good for cranking and deep cycle. 55Ah, 770 IIRC CCA...

    Got it thru RRturboD on here.

    Optima D34M - Optima Batteries


    Just keep in mind your battery tray is different to the one I used... so consult the supplier for which BCI class battery you need to use.
