Bus Bars

Adding electrical accessories to your vehicle has never been easier! Devices connected to the bus bars run from the Aux battery and will not drain your cranking battery.

3 sizes of studs for connecting heavy wires like your winch, stereo amps, fuse boxes, etc. Connect smaller ring terminals to the small screws.

Boost Switch

• Auto - Connects the batteries automatically based on their voltage level
• On - Manually connects the batteries together just like jumper cables to help start the engine
• Off - Manually separates the batteries

G Screen Port

Plug in our optional G Screen Monitoring System with a single cable to keep an eye on your system.

How It Works

The heart of the system is a smart battery combiner that handles connecting / disconnecting the batteries automatically.

When the engine starts, it allows the engine to charge the cranking battery first, then links the batteries together in parallel so they can both be charged by the alternator.

Once it sees the voltage drop below ~12.7v for a minute, it will separate the batteries. Your accessories connected to the bus bars continue to run from the second battery and won't drain your cranking battery.

Smart Combiner Specs

The heavy duty Smart Battery Combiner device is rated to handle 300 amps continuously flowing through it. It can handle higher amperage loads for shorter durations - 500 amps for 5 minutes, and up to 2,000 amps for 5 seconds. The combiner requires a minimum of 8 volts to operate. It does not consume any power to keep the batteries connected together, and it does not generate any heat.

Battery Size Required

Matching Group 34 batteries are required. Note the Group 34R size has the posts in the wrong orientation. The factory battery is not compatible.

Bus Bar Sizes

The Positive and Negative bus bars have 3 different size studs - - 3/8", 5/16", and 1/4" diameter for heavy cables for a winch, air compressor, fuse box, etc, and three #10 screws for attaching smaller ring terminals for your low amp accessories such as small LED lights.

Cable Size

Our battery cables are made with 2ga heavy duty, high strand count, pure copper welding cable. Why welding cable instead of battery cable? It's more flexible, more conductive, with a thicker, more abrasion resistant jacket for ultimate durability. The lugs are made of pure copper and tin plated which is more conductive and eliminates corrosion, then covered with an extra thick, adhesive-lined heat shrink material to fully seal the ends of the copper wire for long lasting performance.

Install Time

If you're handy with a wrench, and if you follow along with our detailed installation video, most people can install this kit in their driveway in 2-3 hours. If you prefer to have your local 4x4 shop install it for you, most shops will bill 2 hours for installation in a stock vehicle. If you already have some aftermarket wiring that needs to be rerouted to our bus bars or otherwise cleaned up, add to the installation time as appropriate.
