Make sure to put a fuse at each end. This is to protect the car in case of an accident.

Re: (VegaS10)

What did you all run the wire through when you put the battery in the cargo area? The place where the A/C lines go?

Re: (dkrex001)

i initially used a distribution block with a 100amp (AN-L?....the glass kind) fuse, and it blew immediately as soon as i tried to crank the motor.....

installed an inline 100amp breaker, bought from best buy, and it has never failed me
