mhart Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 i wouldn't add anything except maybe change the circuit breaker to an inline 250amp fuse.

Jocur Posted August 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 is the 250 gonna fix the problem or is there something else going on?

Boon Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 i wouldn't add anything except maybe change the circuit breaker to an inline 250amp fuse. That's excellent advice. I bet he'll be really happy when the main power cable from front to back shorts and his car catches fire when both Optimas dump about 2000A through the wire. Reaaaaallly happy. You need a fuse or circuit breaker on BOTH ends of the wire going from the front to the back. You didn't say what the wire is so we can't recommend an amp rating. Quote 10.x volts fo' life!

1992Chevy K1500 Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 You do not want to use a circuit breaker. Each time they trip, the tripping mechanism wears down and eventually gives out. When that happens, it will quit tripping and catch fire.
