I'm putting an auxiliary battery in my engine compartment purely for camping pleasures.
I'm just looking for general feedback on my setup and what people think. It is simple, but should be all that I need.
I will be running 4AWG wire from the AUX battery in the engine compartment to the fusebox (safetyhub 150) in the truck bed. Is 4 AWG wire sufficient for my setup? I'll be running a 400w inverter from my fusebox as well as a couple small accessories (fan, LED bar, water pump.) All of the details are within the diagram. The 400w inverter will be hooked up to one of the safetyhub 150's high amp AMI fuse ports which are rated for up to 200 amps. I'll fuse it with a 35amp fuse (or should I go higher?)
I'm just unsure of how the Safetyhub 150 works. Why is it able to work without having to run a negative cable from a port on it to the chassis of the truck? How does this work?
