Question
2015 ALC
I have a Painless wiring kit #40103 and have mixed info on the proper install on my 2015 Sierra. The confusion is the terminal box on top of the primary battery, what wires need to be upgraded to larger gauge, and how does the auxiliary battery get charged. I have also read that you have to ground both batteries to the same location. This originally seemed fairly straight forward, but is getting more confusing, I wanted to isolate a spare battery to make sure I always have starting power. I originally was going to add a 4ga wire from the the stud that the short wire that goes to the pos terminal on the primary battery and to the left side of the solenoid and from the solenoid to the starter. For the auxiliary battery I would run a 4ga from the pos terminal along the firewall to the left stud on the solenoid and add a wire from the neg terminal to the frame below it. The solenoid would be mounted behind the primary battery. The switch part is easy. Note the diagram below for the solenoid.
