dugee81 Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 What Size ANL Fuse Should I Use whatever the max your alt puts out.. i have a 90a alt so i put a 100a fuse on my wire. its good to have one in case of a short, so you dont end up starting a fire under your hood. though, there are some people (probly a lot) who are able to get away without fusing, but it is a risk.
