[QUOTE="QtrHorse, post: 990896, member: 1644"] Arisley, not a bad way to do it after seeing your picture. I would not do it that way if I were hooking up a lot of high amperage items. Those little power posts range from 150-250A max ratings, depending on the post size. A winch can pull up to 400A. You should wire high amperage draw items directly to the battery. If you toss in a aftermarket high amperage amplifier, inverter, welder and or....., you start to put a huge demand on that power post stud or the "OEM" solenoid. They don't even recommend adding high amp items to the side posts that come extra on some batteries because they cannot handle the amps. Your top posts are large and can handle that kind of load. Your little diagram would work fine for someone wanting to run a Rigid LED light bar and other misc. items that did not draw over 100A or so all together which is most likely 95% of the members on this forum.
