Quoting Removed, click Modern View to see good evening sv. looking at your pics one thing I noticed was the size of cables, the positive going from battery to battery looks good, the positive going to the starter looks smaller? it should be as big or bigger than the one between the batterys, if you have or can get some 1/0 welding cable it works far better than battery cable, welding cable has many more strands of finer wire and will transfer current to your starter a lot better. the solenoid idea came about so equipment manufacturors could save money on cable, they would use smaller cable coming up to the solenoid and then use a short piece of bigger cable from the solenoid to the starter. if you go with 1/0 from battery to battery and then 2/0 from the last battery to the starter you won't need to worry about a solenoid. the other trick I use up here in cold weather is to wrap each battery with a 100 watt battery blanket, keeps the batterys toasty warm. a battery at -20 has only 50% or less of it's rated capacity. the other trick I use is in the new battery boxes you built put 1/2" rubber on the floor of your battery box, keeping your batterys off that cold steel makes a big difference as well. hope this helps sv. it works well for me up here.
