12 volt run from battery to rear floor


Recommended Posts

   

I don't think  a 10 gauge wire is not big enough to handle the amperage. I'm thinking a 6 gauge at a minimum. 4 gauge is probably better.

You may want to visit www.battery1234 to get an idea how an automotive engineer did what your trying to do

GBL,

It's the house battery for a camper conversion of a 2015 XLT LWB Cargo van. It will be underneath the floor extension behind the passenger seat. It will eventually power a stereo, fans, lights, fridge, inverter, etc.

Thanks Booner I'll poke about there. I need to know the length of the run to determine the guage.

Cool that will be good. The alt is is 150 amp unit, and the output wire is about 10 gauge.    If the Camper power is coming off the second battery then 10 gauge  will handle the 25 amp charging load fine. Sounds like a great project!
