We use these combiners in the boat world. Lifetime Warrenty, a remote ON can be used to manually combine the batteries. Happen to be on sale now for 140.

LMFAO!!!!!!

Anyway...cool thread! Been considering this one for a few days since my SECOND factory battery is on its way out. If someone came up with an all-in-one kit that was easy to install and had good instructions and wiring diagrams, I would certainly fess up the $$ for it...if my wife would allow it that is.

Nice and clean, well done. I know you used the rugged ridge tray but did you order a wiring kit of just put it together yourself?

Thanks.

I bought the terminals from Quadratec and the cole hersee from another online retailer. I had a local company do the wiring as I would probably start a fire. They only supplied the sections of battery wire.

Default Found this on Quadratec...

Hadn't noticed this before but Rugged Ridge makes a universal dual battery wiring kit...
