Adding Power Accessory Wires

I'll apologize now if this has been covered. I'm looking for a way to add additional hot and ground wires to my batteries. I have a dual battery system on my 2020 7.3, and I'm adding an Anderson plug in the front for quick disconnect jumper cables and one in the rear also. I'm not so much worried about the ground, as I will use the frame for those, but need to have a place for the two hot wires. If you have pictures of your install, that would be great. Thanks for the help.

If you are looking for just the battery connection, many drill a hole in the flat/raised part of the connector and run a bolt there to connect other cables.



For my application, I just went with straight jumper cable connectors so I can easily put them on and take them off as well as using them in other vehicles.

I'm not sure my cable has that much room on it, to put a bolt. I'll have to take a look at it. Thanks for the response and pictures.

I did have room, the hole is drilled, and the bolt is in. Now I just have to route the cables. Thanks for the help.
