skittlesRgood Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 i would stick with 250amp fuses. ive just seen a few 1/0 wires that were melted and the 300amp fuse hadn't popped. and that wire is only supposed to handle 250amps so it makes sense to go with a 250amp fuse.

cvxsmitty58 Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 yeah, that short of a run will be fine. Factory wire is usually 8ga and it can handle plenty over the 50 that your trying to make up. Or if its bothering you just get a short run of something larger.

c_stud Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 why do some people tell you to fuse the big 3 and the other % tell you that you're fine without fusing? i know it's a precaution but is it a necessity?

kmalinich Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Better safe then sorry is why most do it. thats why I did.. Right.. but the run from the alt to the front battery is like.. what, 3 feet? 3 feet of 1\0 will not melt off of the current from the alt. even if it's a 300amp alt, it's only gonna put 300 amps through the 3 feet of wire if he's slammin full out with super dead batteries and he's doin 5000 RPM.
