dayo808 Posted June 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 When running my big 3 is it mandatory that I fuse my charge wire or not and should I just run a ground connecting my starting batt to my bank in the back or just ground my bank to the frame?

gdaigle Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 If there is nothing wrong with his current under hood battery wouldn't it make sense to just add another battery now then upgrade his under hood battery later? This way he has 2 batts instead of just one and can get the most out of what he has...

reedal Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 It's not mandatory, but it's safer. It's personal preference to me. I feel it's too short of a run to fuse, others don't. You can do your ground either way. It won't make much difference for your power. There's a video d'amore did about it. For larger power (3k+ I believe) it was better with a front to rear ground.

MrSkippyJ Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 I will just say this. All of my vehicles have had fuses from the factory between the alt and battery. Also, Tony C (Snafu) says to fuse the charge wire. What he says is pretty much right when it comes to 12v electronics.

dayo808 Posted June 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 I have also been wondering about this? Haha. The quote thing didn't work or I did it wrong. But when I get the new starting batt should I use it in the back till I get a secondary battery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... 1 20
MrSkippyJ Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 I didn't realize you only had one battery now, my bad. Get that upgraded along with your Big 3, then worry about adding a second battery.

dayo808 Posted June 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Hey I would like to thank everyone who has replied kindly and with information. I am a member on another forum and all I got from all but 1 member was smart ass replies. Thanks all. I'll order my wire asap then the battery. Since its short runs will cca be OK or should I spring for the matching kolossus fleks that is all my other wiring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... 1 20
