emperorjj1 Posted June 7, 2007 Report Posted June 7, 2007 you dont need 2 fuses on the bat 1 to bat 2 line Quote J. JMy CardomainFINISHED COBALT SS/SC DUAL ALTERNATOR PICS theres no such thing as too expensive when it comes to upgrades like that, because imo if you are gonna spend to upgrade then do it correctly rather then be a cheap ass ricer
dleccord Posted June 7, 2007 Report Posted June 7, 2007 no you dont. but i'd take my chances. the wire could be 15+ feet long. who knows what kinda shit could happen. but def. fuse before distro block. Quote refs: chode69, superduper
emperorjj1 Posted June 7, 2007 Report Posted June 7, 2007 lol the whole point of the fuse is to protect the wire.... if the first one happens to some how magiclly not work (arc the power or something) then all the wire up until the 2nd one is fried so putting one right next to the 2nd battery as a back up is useless. If anything just buy quality fuse holders and fuses and you will be fine but if you want to spend money on a second one put it right next to the first Quote J.

ChevyBoy Posted June 8, 2007 Report Posted June 8, 2007 true that. i think kingsuv (bill) had his wire catch on fire. not sure if he had a fuse between his front and back, but its damn sure worth it. Quote
GHOPPOMAN Posted June 8, 2007 Report Posted June 8, 2007 If u had a short somewhere between both batts and the front fuse blew, the wire would still be live! put 2 fuse like the pic so if there is a short both fuses will blow and the wire wont be live anymore. Quote
emperorjj1 Posted June 8, 2007 Report Posted June 8, 2007 whoops forgot about getting a short... i thought you ment the main goal of the second one was to blow if the first didnt. Quote J.
