Dual battery wiring 8b&s to 3mm control panel socket

Hi all.

First attempt installing dual battery with 1225d redarc bcdc charger next week. I'm going through my planning and confident enough. I've installed UHF radios and before.

I am new to this and want to do it myself to both learn a new skill and then be able to better fault find in future.

My question related to running the red 8b&s 6 gauge cable from the aux battery back into the rear where I have a baintech Gu wagon control panel which has a spade terminal socket. What is the best way to join the 6 guage to the control panel?

Thanks

Fuse box. Baintech also do a pretty good fuse block which is what I have in my GU. I've used cheaper ones with good success too though.

That's what I thought. Thanks for that. I'll buy a 6 fuse block and locate attach it near the baintech panel inside the wagon side panel somehow.

I used a similar fuse panel from Jaycar in the rear of my GU when I did my dual battery install.
Here are some pics of where I located it in the rear cargo access panel on the passenger side.

Excellent work mate. I'm pretty much planning the same except running the cable along the chassis rail and up through the rear grommet into that rear wagon panel.

That's probably not a bad idea. It took me quite a bit of time and effort getting that cable through the firewall.

Yeah I have spent a but if time just going over everything and what would the the better solution on getting the wiring down to the back. I'll have a while week to do it so hopefully it works out. It's my first time so im sure there will be some moments [emoji38]
