Re: [DML] grounding equipment to battery?



Andy, You should be pretty good with an ohm meter. Measure from the neg. 
battery post to anywhere on the chassis or frame. If it's more than .1volt dc 
drop, then you need to work on your ground cables and connection. That is a 
typical voltage drop. Naturally connecting direct to the battery ( - ) would 
eliminate and other drops. Computer equipment should be less than .05 or less.

<< i have read from many sources that the best place to ground high power 
stereo 
equipment is to ground it directly to the ground connector on the battery 
rather than the frame. if you ground all of your equipment with a 
distribution block and have only one heavy gauge cable going to the battery, 
this will eliminate ground loop interference. i have NEVER seen anything 
grounded to a car battery before - is this really a good idea? i should 
think 
it would be OK but I'm not sure! any ideas?
