Hi Bob
You sent me a response to my question about relocating my batteries.

>>>> I'd put the battery busses, and battery contactors
adjacent to their respective batteries. Run a 2AWG
ground forward for BOTH batteries and 4AWG feeders
for each battery to the cross-feed contactor on the
firewall.<<<<

I have the battery contactores ,x feed contactor and starter contactor in a neat package on the firewall. What is the reason for moving the battery contactor back with the batteries behind the seat. There are some location problems I am trying to resolve.

Battery contactors and battery busses are classically
located in close proximity to their respective batteries.
Note the "*" symbol on the fat wires between batteries
and battery busses in the z-figures. This says keep
'em short.

This minimizes the lengths of always hot wires when
the master switch is off. It's a crash safety thing.
