Connecting to the Battery
STEP 28: To finish the install, connect
the ARB power leads directly to the
battery according to the ARB Twin
Compressor Installation Guide.
It’s important to use a good set of
crimpers and good appropriately
sized terminal ends so you get a good
reliable connection. You’re dealing
with a lot of amps you want to make
sure everything is super solid. Heat
shrink is a good way to seal everything
up to ensure that you don’t get
corrosion. We all know how well
batteries do against corrosion. So, go
ahead and heat shrink the ends and
that will seal them, giving us a very
good, nice reliable connection for a
lot of years. It’s best to ground to the
grounding post near the battery rather
hose and test it out!! It’s as simple as
opening your hood, hook up your air,
and turn on the compressor. Do your
stuff and just turn it off when you’re
done. You’re not in and out of the cab
with dirty hands and dirty clothes
from airing up. You can just do everything
outside under the hood, all in
one place and be done with it.
We hope you love this kit as much
as we do! It took a lot of hard work
and time to create something out of a
need for ease when off roading. A
special thanks to the amazing team
from Northridge 4x4 and especially to
Andrew Markus for taking us through
the install and providing great tips
and information on the ARB Compressor
Kit. Remember E3 members will
have exclusive access to these kits
before anyone else!! Be sure to get
yours while supplies last!! You won’t
regret this one!
than to the battery itself. The JL’s are
sensitive about grounding so it tends
to work best if you just ground to a
grounding post.
That’s it!! Time to connect your air
