RE: [DMCForum] I'm back with another kooky question!



The prior owner had a battery cutoff switch like you described but it was
so
butt ugly that I got rid of it and replaced it with a simpler on-off
switch.

What I would like to di is have the batter in the back and integrate it as
part of the whole design (the more big wires the better). So, I'm looking
at
my regular battery up front and the new one in the rear. 

This is where I get thrown... I've never dealt with adding a battery where
you could only access the jump points. I assume you could hook the neg to
the jump point in the rear but how do you complete the circuit if you
can't
actually reach the neg terminal? Do you still ground to the engine?
