[QUOTE="Loud Dodge, post: 6781975, member: 621482"] no.... its the fact that in a typical electrical setup, current control is all by resistance, There is a reason why alternators don't have 0 awg wires on the charging studs.... because the 0 awg wire has less resistance than the charging stud, so at that point it becomes the weak link,,, it is just like taking a piece of 18 awg wire and arcing it between the + and - stud of your battery, as it sits there it will get really hot, causing it to melt over time, it works the same way, only that the weak link at that point is your charging stud [/QUOTE]
