[QUOTE="Torgus, post: 2678359, member: 571636"] i still wonder how well this really works... my father is an EE and when i mentioned it he thought is was pointless. unless there is a bad connection somewhere of course that would help. my alt to batt wire is rated for my alt. having it bigger doesn't make it send any more power nor faster nor more consistantly. Also it being a REALLY short run makes using a huge cable like 1/0 a bit overkill. there is no noticable voltage drop accross a short run such as alt to batt. redoing the grounds can definitly be worth it imo. assuming they arn't good in the 1st place. also if i put a batt in my trunk i don't see why i would need to run 0 to it...maybe 4 because of the voltage drop for a run that far but even then...it isn't going to charge any better it is limited by what my alt is putting out. it's not going to charge faster because i use bigger wire. any comments with actual logic. not it works shut up? EDIT:Always fuse to the size of wire you have. never to what your alt puts out. [/QUOTE]
