Winch power lead - hook up question (1 Viewer)

[PDoyle]

I have 2 vehicles with a class 3 hitch(es) on front and rear .
I ran "battery cable" with connectors from the battery areas to both front and rear. The winch has cable and an SB175 plug at the end, to match the cable.
I want to use my current battery as a power source, and hook up all cables to this battery.

Need advice on what to do further to attach all cables to the power source.

Thanks.

Marine battery terminals <---- this is a link


Have used them for many years without issue.

Ok, but which ones? I've looked at those.
I have terminals from the vehicles attached to the battery. Can't add more terminals to the 2 top posts. The cable ends have the eyelets attached. Is there a top post terminal that has an adapter I can add the eyelets too?

There should be a way to make this work, do you have a picture? I dont really understand your situation from this post. You should have a look at dual battery setups, quick disconnects and maybe power splitter bars for your setup if you plan to be winching alot.

Finally got around to taking a pic... This pic of the battery and cables attached the correct way. Also in the pic is the positive cable from my winch hook up. It has a round clasp with the nut & bolt. The neg. cable is attached to the frame closer to the rear of the truck. I have 2 more cables ( pos and neg.) in the front winch hook up. The gold piece is a terminal I bought at a custom stereo store a while back. Not sure if it is any use though.

I'm looking for a way to attach the 2 positive cables and 1 negative cable to the battery with of course the vehicle cables attached as well.
Or is there a special fuse block that will take care of this?
Thanks 4 any help.

Danka! I'l check these out. But I have to cut the end off the cable and add an eyelet.
