I'm converting an old tandem trailer I have to one with a self loading hoist arrangement. Hoist will have two slewing cylinders and a 12vdc hydraulic power pack. Truck has a 950 cca battery and a 85amp alternator. So the plan is, connect up two runs of #2 copper battery lead , positive to the positive battery post, negative to the starter ground stud. From the positive post to a 200amp circuit breaker, then run both down the frame to the bumper and terminate into a forklift quick connector. Matching connector on the trailer and off to the power pack.
Max current draw will be 45 seconds @ 160amps, with most loads being far less.
Any problems?
