RobSheffield Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 (edited) Need to place a fuse (yes Brett, in a holder, i know!) in the extended live that runs forward from my relocated battery to the fusebox. Cheers. PS, alternatively i may look for a high Amperage circuit breaker type arrangement, believe i have seen that suggested before for the same application.

jevansio Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 (edited) Rob, not sure if this helps, but seach for lightweight battery threads, there was something in one of them about the current draw on the starter motor (CCA - cold cranking amps???? does this sound like what you want to know?) I'll have a dig. Edit this thread is on about the stock cranking amperage being under 200A http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=156790&highlight=lightweight+battery Also it's on about info in the battery FAQ Edited January 17, 2009 by jevansio (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted January 17, 2009 Author Share Posted January 17, 2009 Cheers Jay. I may just get a couple of spare fuses. One at 200 and one at 250 odd. If the lower ones blows, then ill use the bigger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
