Thread: Dual battery - wiring, fuses and/or circuit breakers

Hi twr7cx and def9087, can I suggest you try these battery clamps.

I sell these but you should be able to find them locally.

These are about the simples type of battery clamp but they are also one of the most versatile.

You can take the wing nut off, then remove the bolt from the underside of the clamp and then any cables that will be permanently connected to the battery, fit to the bolt.

The bolt can then be secured back in place and the top of the bolt can be used to fit and change other cables without the need to interfere with the main cables.

They're actually what I wanted, but I couldn't be arsed going to the shops, so used what I had for the moment. I do intend to change sometime.
