Those are great in theory... but to be honest with you they are nothing but a loose/bad connection waiting to happen... been there done that, tossed it in the trash...
I was thinking they probably manage to work there way loose so my plan is to remove the white plastic part, use a different bolt and lock washer, my other options are to order a different design from Australia or cut a section of the wire sheath off of the factory wire and clamp another ground wire to it, or cut the factory wire and use a mutli port type top post connector. I've had a wing-nut marine type connector on my other battery for 3 years it worked it's way loose a little once and I tightened it down and it hasn't come loose again.
can't believe nobody makes a dual-top-post connector in the USA, you can get them for bare wire but not with 2 top post

I was told by an American who now lives there that it's hard as a non citizen, to become one. You either have to marry an Aussie or prove that you're an asset to their country. I've always wanted to visit there. I've read they have some awesome muscle cars there. Holden is the shit there!

I think a firewall mounded distribution block would look better that a post adapter. Have you looked into that?
the thing is both battery grounds need to pass thru the RVC and then to ground, so from battery-to-RVC sensor-to ground this is so the bcm can see what the load is correctly, with the 2nd battery being way over on the other side of the engine compartment you need a long ground about 80" to join them together, using a distribution block would be fine but it would need to not be grounded previous to the RVC sensor. I'm just trying to simplify it with a different top post adapter if that wont work out then I'll try something else

my mom managed to get dual citizenship she went over there like 20+ years ago lived with some guy she met on the internet, he was a millionaire owned some publishing company and traded stocks, she never married him so I don't know how she got citizenship but he kicked the bucket last year and she ended up with everything.

What does she say about Australia? Obviously she must really like it there.

I think I just have a funky battery but I'm going to try it and see if it makes any difference, my batteries are not the same age like they should be 1 is 2 1/2 yrs old and the other 1 1/2 yrs old. I think the older one might be taking a dump, the charger did 2 days days of maintenance to it and it went back up to 100% I'll wait and see if it last's more than a few days without giving me a low battery warning again.

If you haven't done so already, you'll make a million in no time Wes; you're an enterprising fellow!

ya luckily I didn't have to spend my entire childhood with her, she managed to send me off to various relatives or friends. I got moved up and down the west coast and went to 7 different schools, I think it worked out ok I got to live in the big city and in the country and the way out boondocks, met a lot of different types of people, I think it makes me a well rounded person.
