[QUOTE="Binder, post: 1115975, member: 16063"] The reason for running the cable straight to the battery is because the alternator doesn't have enough output to run the winch and can't run a starter if the engine isn't running. The power for these has to come from the battery and this just eliminates the connection in the middle of the circuit. Like I said, your way should work fine I just don't like the idea of tons of cables connecting to one lug. If that connection got bad your junk isn't running and possibly fire. Having said that I have tons of cables connected to the post on my starter.............If you do run these three cables to the lug the one from the battery to the lug needs to be beef. [/QUOTE]
