AMI CUSTOMS Posted December 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 Specifically, what I am talking about is fusing between the amp, +4k size amp that warrants the need for a battery bank, and the battery bank. Thanks for all the discussion thus far, more is welcome!!!! So fuse or not between batt bank and amp.

Decaf Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 i would NOT fuse that wire. power wire between rear batts and front batts/alt, yes, in case there's a cut in the wire. it can take almost double the amp rating to pop the fuse in a short circuit situation tho so even for its intended use its rather worthless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrionStang Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 I am considering NOT fusing the 4 pos runs to my 7.5k. The batteries are close, no sharp edges between batteries and amp, I don't know. If I wreck bad enough to pull/break wires and cause a short, I can just claim it as a total loss with insurance. Got personal insurance coverage for my system. Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Decaf and you look good in gold btw!!! i havent used fuses to amps in a long time. sank u sir I am considering NOT fusing the 4 pos runs to my 7.5k.

Got personal insurance coverage for my system. if you flip and roll your batts will be the least of your concern, lol im more worried about frayed wires shorting at the input terminals then somehow within the length of the wire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
