Battery Relocation.... circuit breaker size?
Car - Mazda 1000 ute
motor / part in question - Battery being installed to tub of ute- center behind cab
problem - What size circuit breaker to use (safety, in case of fault) on what looks like 1 gauge wire, might be welding wire...
occurs/started when (if applicable)- if battery cable rubs through or rock hits what ever.
personal situation (if applicable)-
Vehicle had big dollar conversion done from known rotary specialist workshop.
Workmen ship on electrical and mechanical is lowzy.
Right now I'm looking at a $20 supercheap auto plastic battery box that has been tek screwed into the tub, ~25mm hole drilled through tub floor, no grommet or extra sheathing, just cable stuffed through hole then zip tied to fuel line all the way up to starter motor.
There is no fuse or circuit breaker...rank amateur
So as luck would have it, it come my way to clen it up.
Never done one before, but have done dual batteries before, bit different.
Did a search on here and googled it
This was helpfull
This shows a 75Amp circuit breaker.....
My concern is, wont start up pull more, 300-400 amp?
Cheers Ali.
