Landau309 Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 ive never ran a fuse between alt and battery for years, never had problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym85 Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 u fuse based on the size of wire u are using...i believe for 1/0 gague a 325 amp fuse is the biggest u go (around there)..u can always go smaller there is a sticky in the electrical section with fuse size based on wire gauge ...look there...

Bocaj Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Are you supposed to put a fuse between the alt and the battery. All the demos of the big 3 that I have seen never include a fuse there. Quote Car 1991 Honda Accord EX System I now have and is finally installed!
