Hide power pole connector?

[TreeTopFlyer]

I kept it all pretty simple. 150 Hi-Amp from Bussman that I had sitting on the shelf. I have a 300A version on the way, I'll put it on if the breaker ever trips from jumping. I'll get some red electrical tape today and mark the '+' cable, while I don't ever plan to use someone else's cables, you never know.

The rubber cover is under the bumper next to the winch plate, it shouldn't see much light. It already has a pinkish hue to it. Any more pink and it will see a rattle can of black. It will probably rarely get used, but I'm a gearwhore and just like to add to the weight of my truck. Next will be the rear port, just need some more welding cable.

i worried about this when i was setting mine up over a decade ago.

i ended with just keeping the 2 foot leader INSIDE the engine compartment.

i bought a cap, which had a short leash that i just tie wrap so it doesnt flop around.

safe all the way around.

Also, take a look at the color to voltage standard here: http://www.andersonpower.com/products/colorcode_mp.html Not all installers follow it, but those are the manufacturer's recommendations and will ensure compatibility with others who follow them. Nothing like damaging your set of jumper cables and borrowing someone else's only to discover they choose a different color and so it is keyed to not work.

oh... NOW that list is around. where was that 10 years ago... lol...

back then all i remember was warn sold the red 175 amp connectors. but when i read the spec for my warn 9000 pound winch, it says it can max out at over 300 amps. so i bought from wrangler products, their biggest one, which came in one color only. GRAY.

so if anyone is planning on the 350 amp connectors, just remember that wrangler products was a big seller of them and gray was almost all universal...

Does anyone have a schematic, drawing of a dual battery set up, might show where disconnects, switches, gen set up? Not to any vehicle, but universal setup? And what all gets grounded? There was a long discussion about setting up a genset and feeding back to the batteries through ground....Thanks!
