An alternate method of wiring the X-Pedition 8600 power supply is to use a single set of 8-AWG wires (+ and -) from the DC source, and then tie the X-Pedition 8600’s wiring lugs together: + to + and - to -. See Figure 29.
Both positive (+) and both negative (-) lugs are tied together with 8-gauge wire
