trunk battery question..


Recommended Posts

Posted

i have a couple questions and i bet you guys can help me out. I just received my new batcap 4000 from fed ex. I checked its voltage and it rests at 12.76 volts. Now should it be charged before i install it? And second i have a optima yellow top up front so when i run the power wire to the batcap in the trunk, what size fuse should be used in that run? they will run off a 220 amp alt, with the big 3 already done. Thanks in advance for any advice!!!

set up Alpine 9851, Sundown sax 100.4d, Digital Designs M3A, Incriminator audio components X 2, HCCA Tweeters, 2xDD 3512sc dual .7 coils , H.O 220 amp alt, Optima yellow top under hood, batcap 4000 in the back, Big 3, and all 0 gauge runs. For now but it's never finished!!!

What is your wire rated for? That's what you would want to fuse at or below. Personally, I would put a fuse 18" from each battery

Im not sure of the rating on the wire its 0 gauge flex wire. I looked at it and didn't see a rating.

Curious, what size fuse do you have on the run going back to the amplifier, or is none of this installed yet?

I can't find a single rating on that wire, not on their site or anywhere it is listed

No i haven't installed it yet. Im just getting all the stuff now. The only reason i was thinkin about using that wire is because i already have one run already from the the battery to the amp. Its not set in stone to even use it. Thank you for looking into it for me.
