[QUOTE="mikeeg02, post: 1372114, member: 24194"] While 4/0 sounds twice as big as 2/0. It's only rated for an additional 60 amps over 2/0. Please do not use the frame rail to bridge two batteries like this for starting capabilities. Doing so would require adding an additional heavy wire from the front battery to the frame, then an additional wire from the frame to the engine, so as to not draw current through only the ground strap. I'm not saying it won't work, but paralleling two large batteries for optimal life, they should really be wired from terminal to terminal. So you hopefully draw off them both equally. 4/0 is also harder to work with and lugs are more expensive. [/QUOTE]
