P1000 Parallel dual battery setup.

I going to add a second battery. I’m doing a parallel connection. I want the extra amps for winching. Isolator defeats
my requirements. Can anyone recommend proper connection cables.

4 gauge welding cable of equal lengths. Batteries that match preferably, equal age and recharge/discharge rates. If one goes down it'll take the other one out.

Agree with trigger. No isolator does seem risky though.

Not on the P5, it's not as sensitive to low voltage as the P1. Carry a lithium ion jump pack just in case though.

Tractor supply sells 4ga welding cable by the foot

Ah! That makes sense then! Thanks!
