Connect-Ease 12V Outboard Dual Battery Cable Kit

A second battery can supply additional capacity for a boat's electronics and pumps, but the two-battery wiring has to be planned carefully. The Connect-Ease outboard kit provides the parallel connection arrangement for a 12V dual-battery setup. It is intended for installations where the outboard and onboard equipment use a shared battery bank. Anglers with multiple displays, livewell equipment or shallow-water anchors may find that layout useful.

The kit uses 6 AWG leads for the outboard connection and an 8 AWG connection for battery-side accessories. Plug-in fittings make it easier to disconnect the batteries during storage or service. Lithium compatibility is specified for the connection system. Optional Connect-Ease accessory connectors can be used when adding compatible electronics connections.

This is a parallel battery kit, not the ACR isolation version of the system. In a parallel arrangement, the two batteries are connected as one bank, so they must be suitable for that use. The starting battery's remaining capacity still deserves attention when accessories run for long periods. Browse our marine battery cable and wiring kits for alternative battery layouts.
