Fuse needed?

[Fareastkid 10+ year member]

I just did the BIG 3 on my stock 1999 honda odyssey //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif But after reading so many reviews about the BIG 3, I have a question, I'm using 0/1 gauge wire, the wire from the + alternator terminal to the + battery terminal, do I need a fuse on this line? the alt is stock and so is the battery? If I do need a fuse what would be the correct fuse for 0/1 gauge cable? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/uhoh.gif.c07307dd22ee7e63e22fc8e9c614d1fd.gif

i don;t think you really needa fuse from teh alt to the battery because that would be restriction the charge.

Wrong. A fuse conducts amperage up to the rated amount. Sure there will be some resistance.. but it will be miniscule on that short of a run.

To the original poster: for 1/0 cable, you should use anywhere from a 200-350A fuse.

if you think a fuse "restriction the charge", then you don't know the purpose of a fuse. bcae1.com my friend.
