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 |

I would want to do it so if the cable from the battery shorts to ground,1 the cab will not fill up with smoke from the melting cable (assuming the battery is in the pass. compartment), and 2 the battery will not blow up which is not fun and I would hate to be in the same compartment if that happened. So I would say we are protecting both car and driver for $50.
