[jbizzle 5,000+ posts]

should I fuse it? and if I do, I will add the fuse tomorrow. can I still have one end still hooked up to the alternator? so it doesn't take me another 30 minutes just to put it on.

i personally have no experience with not fusing... i just always heard its better to be safe than sorry, and it does make sense.... like i said, if someone I knew who knows a lot about this kinda stuff told me not to i'd probably listen to them too lol.

lots of guys in compitions dont fuse there alt to batt run, i havent its been like that for 10months notta a prob one.

just make sure its a good tight connection and nothing to ground or arc out on.

thanks, i'll fuse it tomorrow.

also, if I have any leftover 1/0 tomorrow from adding the batt in the back, would it benefit me to do a second big3 in the knukonceptz wire?
