Thanks.
I have 2 batteries in the wooden box underdeath the inverter (they're hidden)
Those 2 aux batteries are tied together & charged via high temp 4ga red and 4ga black wire through the slit loom on drivers side and are tied into only the driver side engine battery. (I was able to use 4ga since this is simply a "charging feed". If I wasn't running aux batteries, then I would've needed 2-runs/ea of 2/0 cable.....about 60ft of wire. Thus, in my mind, 2 aux batteries were actually cheaper than the large cable that I would've needed AND provides me w/ more power)
The 2 batteries in the engine compartment are tied together so if you went to either battery that would be sufficient; no need to run your inverter wires to both engine batteries.
Hope this helps.
best of luck.
