Anyone use something like this between your battery and main battery cable?
I'm sure 150 amps is not enough for a starter motor..... or is it? http://www.amazon.com/Bussmann-Hi-Amp-Circ...s/dp/B0024JOKM4 I also thought these were interesting too. http://compare.ebay.com/like/370336644693?...4=263602_309572 |

They are the biggest POS I have seen. I have replaced almost all of them on our fleet. They trip too easy. We only use them on our liftgate and the charge cord for the liftgate and almost all of them have failed. The other problem I have seen is the terminals like to break and often work loose. I vote for a different style or brand. |
