Will be grounded to the frame for sure. Already drilled the holes.

Yes, 12 volt batteries. 2 group 27's were installed in their boxes on the tounge yesterday.

And no worries about the fuses - I followed the diagrams on this site closely.

But it really is ok to use the same 10AWG wire I've been using to ground the bank??


The #4 requirement comes into play if you're running an inverter and pulling a lot of amps from the batteries. A #10 should be fine if that's the size of your main feed from the battery to your fuseblock. I can look up the code tomorrow at work if you want the size required there.

#10 grounded to the trailer. Thanks for your help.
