Alternator to battery inline fuse size help
I have my battery tucked under the driver side front bumper so i'm going to run my alternator power wire straight to the battery so I have to run less wire. Im not sure what size fuse I should run. its on an h22 motor and on advance auto parts web site it says its a 95 amp alternator. I was going to go with this 80amp breaker: http://www.ebay.com/itm/271315165501...84.m1423.l2649
should I go ahead and use this or should I be using a 100amp fuse/breaker? Or am I doing this all wrong?

Re: Alternator to battery inline fuse size help
Yes, you are going about it wrong, the fuse is there to protect the wire, so depending on the gauge of wire you use will determine what fuse you will use.
EG; if it is a 10ga cable then use a 60A fuse if it is an 8ga cable use a 100A fuse. 94
