We use these combiners in the boat world. Lifetime Warrenty, a remote ON can be used to manually combine the batteries. Happen to be on sale now for 140.
160 amps continuous rating, 400 amps closing current (2 seconds), 200 amps for 5 minutes.

LMFAO!!!!!!

Anyway...cool thread! Been considering this one for a few days since my SECOND factory battery is on its way out. If someone came up with an all-in-one kit that was easy to install and had good instructions and wiring diagrams, I would certainly fess up the $$ for it...if my wife would allow it that is.

Nice and clean, well done. I know you used the rugged ridge tray but did you order a wiring kit of just put it together yourself?

Thanks.

I bought the terminals from Quadratec and the cole hersee from another online retailer. I had a local company do the wiring as I would probably start a fire. They only supplied the sections of battery wire.

Hadn't noticed this before but Rugged Ridge makes a universal dual battery wiring kit...
