Agent Orange: Friendly fire that keeps on burning.
When running power directly from the battery (A good idea), it also helps eliminate suspected ground problems if you run a direct ground wire from the battery to the equipment while you're at it.
If you do this, remember to fuse both of the lines. It is especially important to fuse the ground wire.
