on the out post of the alt... it can not be replaced.. but i need it longer......

i have looked around with no results.... i dont want to put a buss bar on.....

why you ask.... three runs of 0 stright from the alt to the rear bank.

well... i added more cells... i have 5 now... and i am soon gonna add another SAZ3K.....

but for now... i have no problems even with the a/c on... headlights... audio... video... and in gear " low RPMs" im not even touching 13..... but i figure ill just get a few more runs out of the way now... so when im ready its just a few screws to make madness...

im also on the fence about getting the misslink voltage booster.....

  • Author
is it threaded?

yup. it s a ford 4g... i think.

what kind of agm cells do you have. if you raise your voltage too much agm wont like it and their life span will decrease dramatically.

1/0 has about 150 amps current capacity...

optimas..... so you vote no on the missing link?

and im pulling around 200 amps when i play hard.... i have yet to make my mind up on 2 more runs and that would be three altogather.... or just do one more... only 2 runs/

if you are gonna add another 3000d later you could do 2 more. and as long as the missinglink doesnt boost you too high, then you should be fine.

i think its 15.7

What you could do to extend it, is I have seen deep nuts at hardware stores before. Get one the same thread, and then just thread it on and add a stud to the other end. They're usually about 1/2" to 1" in length.

thats what i was thinking to use... what store?

You might be able to have some luck at Lowe's or Home Depot, but you should be able to find one at a bolt and screw store. I don't know what's available to you in your area. If you don't have any luck though, let me know. I should be able to find some here if you give me the thread size, and either mail it to you or bring it down there some weekend.

0 gauge only able to safely carry 150 amps?? its A LOT more than that...4 gauge is safe up to around 150 amps give or take

1/0 gauge is almost 300 amps

u can run a 2 or 3/0 guage wire to a distributor and run all your stuff off of that

3/0 is smaller then three runs of 0 gauge.

I don't understand the whole 1/0, 2/0, 3/0, and 4/0. I know they are 0, 00, 000, and 0000 respectively. But I don't know the difference between them. Can someone help me?

great call abxx

Here's your easiest solution. Run 1 cable to a buss bar and go from there.

Yup. For such a short run, you won't run into any problems with the wire handling the current.
