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 |

On my C4 I used a 250 amp fuse on the cable to my rear mounted battery. I didn't relocate any of the factory wiring, just moved the battery to the back and put a fuse to protect the long wire run from the battery. I never had any issues with a 250 amp fuse, even with 12.5:1 compression, hot or cold weather, etc.
