Associated HD Plug-In Cable Set 800
I am looking for some advise on installing a jumper cable system. I am wondering if it matters witch battery I hook the receiver box up to. I have had better luck jump starting equipment with my passenger side battery so I am leaning toward that side.

Check out your owners manual. It states that when using jumper cables use the battery on the passenger side. What is a jumper cable system? I imagine this is for a fleet vehicle? Just curious.

I added a similar setup using cables and battery connectors from McMaster-Carr.
I ran 2/0 welding cable from the engine to the rear bumper. There I use industrial battery connectors to attach my trailer, boat winches, jumper cables even a portable inverter. Whatever we have that may need high DC current.
The positive cable is connected right at the starter lug, this utilizes both batteries.
The ground is attached to the engine block.
The positive cable runs about 18" to a 300 amp fuse, then back to the bumper.
