P1000 Second battery frame ground

[JGG]

Good evening everyone
Looking to add second battery on my new 2024 pioneer 1000-5. Wondering where the best place is to connect negative to frame.

Anyplace on the frame you see fit or is easiest for you reach. Ground is a ground on a frame.

A shorter wire would be the best choice being it has the least resistance. More resistance can lead to increased heat and sometimes malfunctions.

I did this.
OEM hole in the left upper frame, under the hood. Ground the powder coat off, tapped and threaded in a bolt, dialetric grease.
2nd battery, Isolator and accessory fuse box grounded here.

I'd add an Auxbeam from the club store, if doing it all over again.
Neat and saves space.

I used the OEM ground wire(blue tape) to connect my winch.

Good luck.

Use the optional ground under the hood next to the battery.

Or is it already taken by the winch contactor?

There is no optional ground from factory on this year model. Dealer used a wire straight from battery to winch contactor. I appreciate all the replies. Not really seeing where you drilled and tapped Dirtstiffs-1000? Thanks again everyone

If you can zoom in on the Pic, look upper left, next to wire loom, brass fitting.

Ok. I see it now. Thank you Dirtstiffs-1000

My apologies, I completely forgot they'd changed that.

No worries Hello_Darkness. I appreciate all replies
