Fusable Link

Going "ALT to BATT" is the best way for your charging current to be routed.

However, not having any tiype of fuse of fusible link is bad. It is there for a reason. At a minimum you should install an inline fuse there.

I ran a 4AWG cable from the ALT to the BATT, and removed the fusible link wire altogether. Instead, I installed two 8AWG wires from the BATT to the cars electircal system. Both have inline 60amp maxi fuses on them. One feeds the "full time" power, one feeds the "Ignition only" power.

I also have a signal wire that gives true battery voltage to the voltage regulator (instead of pulling false low voltage off the stock circuit).
