The prior owner had a battery cutoff switch like you described but it was so butt ugly that I got rid of it and replaced it with a simpler on-off switch. What I would like to di is have the batter in the back and integrate it as part of the whole design (the more big wires the better). So, I'm looking at my regular battery up front and the new one in the rear. This is where I get thrown... I've never dealt with adding a battery where you could only access the jump points. I assume you could hook the neg to the jump point in the rear but how do you complete the circuit if you can't actually reach the neg terminal? Do you still ground to the engine? > -----Original Message----- > From: Andrei Cular [mailto:acular@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Monday, June 16, 2003 11:48 AM > To: DMCForum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: [DMCForum] I'm back with another kooky question! > > It all depends on where you are going to put the second.
