Think my fuse is 60or 80 amp

Think my fuse is 60or 80 amp battery is in boot so fused cable but like everything it has a downside remember long term if the fuse gets tired and you driving it blows you loose all power

Up to 350 cranking amps, and you are using a 80amp fuse....no wonder it gets tired!, just use a battery cut off switch and do as Jon olds has said.

 

[johnny gtir]

Its never failed yet was just saying it could. I must of just been lucky did not realise it was 350 amp on cranking time to throw that away thanks for ghe advice

I fitted a 500amp fuse on my last car with the battery in the boot just as a precaution

 

[johnny gtir]

Just been outside it was bugging me its 600a ( was long time since i bought n fitted it)prob to big must off looked into it when i done it. Still dont mean i am right

 

[The Doc]

It should only blow that on a dead short situation, nothing wrong with it tbh

 

[johnny gtir]

Thought 60/80 sounded right when i wrote it but then stupid when you mentioned the cranking amps i was thinking of my audio days. Think i went overkill slightly at the time so no chance of it just blowing when driving thanks again for your advice top notch as always.
