Get the Big three done in 0ga, and I think you may be fine/border line depending on what vehicle it is, and stock amperage alt you have.If you havent bought that optimus batt yet..FYI I recommend a different batt.I had 4 BNew Redtops dump on me last summer as well as runining an expensive alt in the process due to the batts.Look at an XS, or DieHard Plat,Odysee,Orileys Super Start plat AGM, Dekas,ect

the big 3 is a wire kit battery power to alt power ,ground battery to frame and battery ground to body
