$104.99 – $289.99
The EXPLORIST.life 12V OEM RV Battery Bank Relocation Kit allows you to install an upgraded 12V Battery Bank in a new location and still deliver power to the OEM battery bank location for simple installation.
Description
This 12V OEM RV Battery Bank Relocation Kit allows you to install an upgraded 12V Battery Bank in a new location and still deliver power to the OEM battery bank location by replacing the existing batteries with busbars powered from the Lynx Distributor near the relocated battery bank. The length of wire for this kit needs to be long enough to reach from the Lynx Distributor in the new battery bank location to the OEM battery bank location. The included busbars are to replace the OEM batteries. All pre-existing loads connected to the OEM battery bank will be connected to the busbars so that those wires do not need to be moved/extended/relocated.

Busbar Vs Junction Studs
If you have 3 or less connections coming off of your OEM battery bank studs, then you can simplify your wiring and save space and money by selecting the junction studs rather than busbars.
If your OEM battery bank has MORE than 3 connections, please select the busbar, as you will need the additional studs.
Never stack more than 4 lugs onto a single stud.

I like that the kit comes with everything you need. I did not use the studs as I connected negative wire directly to the tongue of my travel trailer. I then connected the positive wire to where the positive wire from the battery box is connected to another busbar for 12V accessories. I overestimated the length but then gave me extra 2AWG to use for grounding my Lynx Distributor and other components. Overall, This kit made my first DIY install easy.
