Thanks Shane,
It's hard information to come by how they wire my tow vehicle as far as wire gauges and length of cable. I suppose if one got serious about this you might have to upgrade the cable on the TM side too. I'll just have to wait and see how fast my new batteries charge after getting them... Take care.
