Grounding the battery
When I was reconnecting my alternator I didn't think I had my battery grounded properly. I've haven't had a reason to doubt the existing set-up..... ( Battery is not grounded to the frame. From the neg terminal it has one ground coming from the winch, one coming from the alternator and a small gauge wire coming from a wire harness. Thats it.)
I'm guessing the battery should be grounded to the frame so the alternator, winch, harness wire are properly grounded too.
Is that right?
Thanks guys.

Re: Grounding the battery
Yes, you definitely want the trifecta of motor, frame, body to be grounded by a decent gauge wire, 4ga min. Anything with a microprocessor or a high amp draw with have issues with poor grounding.

Re: Grounding the battery
What Kirk said. I resolved some odd electrical issues by grounding the body, block and frame to a common ground off the battery.
