Posted September 30, 200816 yr 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.
September 30, 200816 yr Author 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.....
September 30, 200816 yr 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...

September 30, 200816 yr 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.

September 30, 200816 yr 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.

September 30, 200816 yr 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.
October 1, 200816 yr 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

October 1, 200816 yr u can run a 2 or 3/0 guage wire to a distributor and run all your stuff off of that
October 1, 200816 yr 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?
October 1, 200816 yr u can run a 2 or 3/0 guage wire to a distributor and run all your stuff off of thatHere's your easiest solution. Run 1 cable to a buss bar and go from there.
