Default CRX battery relocation wire size and fuse amp??

I am finally going to move my battery to the cargo box. I am putting it behind the passenger, hopefully the lid will close with the pc680 battery. Anyway i was going to use a 4 gauge wire to run from battery in cargo box to the engine bay to a distribution block. I was going to cut the ends off those 2 wires in the fuse box(one for starter and one for alternator) and just slide em in the distribution block.
What size fuse should i use?? I am going to use something with a nice fuse holder but i am not shure what size amp fuse to get, I do not want any fires!!

I have read the DIY but i am looking for more people who have done this.

Exactly what I'm doing, the 680 does fit in the storage compartment. I used 4awg with a 80amp fuse and hooked it through a distro block, no problems. Been like that for almost a year.

you dont need a distribution block. run the 4ga directly to the starter as that is the primary draw. the alternator wire do not remove from fuse box it can stay where it is. just bolt a 8ga from the starter terminal (the same place where the 4ga is bolted) to the fuse box, done! no distribution block needed

If you use a fuse use at least a 100 amp, I would use a 120amp circuit breaker

its very straight forward just look at the starter and the fuse box and put a wire in between
