help too many wires to the battery's positive terminal


Recommended Posts

i made some copper plates that you screw to the battery terminal then the plate has four threaded holes for your ring terminals. makes it look a lot nicer and a ton easier to work on. but they only work if you have a battery without posts. im not using them anymore and i have tons of materials to make more if you want some.

i need these wires to have fuses on them they are all rated differently

thx though

im a bit slow today but it sounds like the frnt batt... best thing i could tell u is to get a 0 gauge fused link and run it to a distribution block ....then to you wires...the 4 gauge (if this is the frnt batt) would be pcm wire,alt wire & the pcm or fuse-box wire...the alt should have a inline fuse already (and you need to run 0 gauge frm batt to alt with a fuse) pcm/fuse box should already be fused & the starter wire does not need to be fused(i have not seen 1 starter fused in the 20 years i have been messing with cars)...gap insurance is a insurance policy you can get through most dealers when you buy a car that will pay of the loan no matter what you do to the car that totals it...ie wreck,ELECTRICAL FIRE,or any thing else that would put you with out a car....lol

ok so i went to ford and this is what i found out:

the dual fuse assembly as ford calls it has: two 4 gauge wires coming out

-one with a fuse of 120a is for the power distribution

-one with a fuse of 200a is for the Generator

these ones don't have a fuse:

-one 4 gauge for the battery junction box

-one 8 gauge for the starter motor

and the two I added:

-one 4 gauge changing to 1/0 gauge asap for amps with fuse

-one 1/0 for alternator with fuse

what i'm looking for is something to hold all the fuses for these wires

make it look presentable. thx for the help so far

p.s. I wish i could get gap insurance but i live in Saskatchewan Canada the provincial government has the rights to the insurance. it kinda blows
