FAQ 51

Question: If I install an ammeter I'll need an extra hot wire to the battery positive. What is the best way to add that additional wire?

Answer: I usually use battery terminals that have a screw clamp for the wire. Since I almost always need a second lighter gauge wire to/from the charging system, I just clamp both wires together under the clamp on the terminal.

Quality terminals are available at auto supply stores and battery supply stores. I'm still fond of brass battery terminals.
