Wire a 12v battery
So if I wanted to take a 12v battery and mount it under the rear seat putting it a battery box. How do I do the following stuff. Make it so I can charge the battery with out opening the battery box each time? Then where and what kind of fuse block do I put in to hook up all the devices? Also can I run a small inverter with two 110 outlets on it? Trying to put radio in an 12v outlet etc etc. Thanks

Re: Wire a 12v battery
yes put battery in bag well
wire in a 12v charger and keep it in bag well also , then all you need is to plug it in or use quick connectors between battery and charger use a blue sea fuse block w/grounds place 1 12v outlet on cart for inverter |

Re: Wire a 12v battery
Wow Crash Test that is exactly what I'm going to do!! As far as the Red terminal connectors I see you suggest, I run a Pos line from battery and a Neg line from battery to the red connectors?? Then connect them to the battery charger which will already have a bare Pos and Neg wire?? Then run a Pos and Neg line off battery to the Fuse Block?? Thanks just looking for a little more wiring insight as I have never done this before.

Re: Wire a 12v battery
charger may not have bare cables .. you can cut off clamps

Re: Wire a 12v battery
you can get another connector to do battery clamps so it can still be used on other batteries

Re: Wire a 12v battery
What size and type of battery do you recommend? Want to stay away from watering it if I can. Will run radio and maybe a few small other things. And type of battery charger do you recommend for this application? Your diagrams are amazing, I'm thinking about putting a master switch in there somewhere as well. As far as running wires on a cart is there a preferred place to run wires to the dash area from the place where I'm putting the batteries? Thanks again!!!!

Re: Wire a 12v battery
I have a yellow top battery in the back under my rear seat. Have 2 gauge wires running to the front behind the dash to 2 distribution blocks. All my 12v items run off of here vs my main batteries. I have a 2 amp trickle charger hard wired to the yellow top that has a two wire quick connect plug like the small four wire trailer plug except for two wires. I keep both chargers together, quick and simple to plug both in.
