I connected them to the main harness with weatherpack connectors allowing me to easily disconnect the Milwaukee docks if wanted.

Garmin has verified that their products can easily handle 20+ volts, so I have not installed any kind of voltage regulator as they reduce the batteries efficiency resulting in less run time.
