Ramp Winch
Ok so here is what I did.
Ran cable from truck battery to 12 volt contactor. It operates on 12 volts and is good for 400amp cont use. Then from there to 2-6 volt batteries. I ran the ground back under the truck to the frame mounted bed. I ran a lighted switch to the dash to turn the charge on/off. Just need a 12 volt gauge to keep a eye on it when charging.

Re: Ramp Winch
Looks good. I would consider putting a cover over the terminals on the contactor....just for insurance.

Yea and one over the tops of the batteries also I think probably. To keep the water off the terminals.

Re: Ramp Winch
Or you know keep something from shorting to the frame. I can see from the quality of workmanship you are the kind of guy that thinks through the job before you start. Cheers.

Re: Ramp Winch
Yes agree, shorting out wouldn't be good!
