(thats one wire per stick pack.) then run another wire from the open - and open + on each pack and connect them together. that will run 14.4 volts.

your box will have a ton more starting power. plenty to turn over any engine on the market.

and i secured my two stick packs with double sided tape in the rear of my box.

All right that's cool. I just thought there was something a little more than that. That is the way most boxes are wired up for the two stick packs isn't it? But sounds like you can use all the types of power for this box. And that is good to know. I guess if one way doesn't work I will try the next. So I thank you guys for all the info.
