I have 800 watts. I looked at the battery terminals and figured they're pretty pathetic, so I upgraded them:
1.) Made a new ground strap: I got some 1/0 awg power wire, two crimp-on 1/0 ring terminals, and a new negative battery post connector thing. It's grounded to the body at the same place the stock ground is. It took some doing to make 1/0 bend properly and fit in there right.
2.) For the hot, I connected a 1/0 power line (with a ring connector) to the screw that holds the terminal on to the battery. Do not connect something drawing that much current to the extra battery hookup thing you see there. It's fused with like a 15A fuse. Useless.
