SAE J-2344 is for EVs, but the hi-current bus construction is relevant. Make power connections to vehicle electrical power only after the fuse block to a node intended for aux power, and use connector certified to UL2089.

But seriously, is there any safety code or spec that address the human safety hazard of a 24 VDC vehicle electric system? Although the voltage level seems to preclude shock hazard, is there anything that is concerned with the huge current that could be available through a fault? Thanks in advance!
