[QUOTE="helotaxi, post: 1784802, member: 550915"] 80A at one end is 80A at the other. Current flowing in one end comes out the other. Period. Your amps don't draw their fuse rating. If they did, the fuses would blow after a while. Do you have another fuse near the rear battery on the cable going to the front battery. Since you have a battery on both ends of the cable as a source of current in the event of a short, you must fuse both current sources. As long as you are careful in the routing of the alt cable, there is no reason to fuse it, but if you want to, fuse to the size of the alt. [/QUOTE]
