    The problem being is that you can't see the corrosion underneath the sheathing.
    Yeah the cabling can be expensive.... I built my own cables when I installed my invertor. Bought 00 cable from Amazon along with tinned connectors, and bought a hydraulic crimper from Harbor Freight.

    Sounds to me like the guy has a plan and is working it.

    You do your thing, he'll do his.

    There’s no point in replacing wires for the heck of it. Get yourself a decent multifunction meter, pull each wire off one at a time and start checking what the resistance is on each wire. You would use the OHM function on your meter. If a wire has a high reading, it’s needs to be replaced.

    I don't really see much value in the Maxwell, unless you lived/worked in the northern frozen tundras. I like the AGM batteries, they are pricey though. I saw some by Thermo King last year that had a 48 month replacement warranty. But, so far I have gotten over 2 yrs out my Interstates and at $100 +/- each, that'll probably be the route I take when I need to replace them.
     
    RStewart Thanks this.

    You need to unhook both sides of the same wire, then take your leads from the meter and put one on each end of the wire.

    A Maxwell is a super capacitor. Have you ever seen what happens when a normal capacitor fails? Id rather be sitting on top of a stick of dynamite than a super capacitor. It would blow the cab right of the frame of the truck.
