datto_610 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I've relocated my battery to the boot and I'm wondering what to replace the fusable link with. At the moment for my car to actually run I have the two wires twisted together and taped up(not ideal) so was looking at the Narva website and came across something like this. http://www.narva.com.au/products/browse/high-amp-automatic Would that suffice also what sort of amperage would I be needing? Apologise if my question doesn't have enough info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I'm not sure what draw you'll get. But I personally wouldn't want an automatically resetting unit. If it trips, i'd be wanting to check what's wrong before it resets and powers it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks do you think 100A would be the go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ta63-1uzze Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 are you talking about the starter solenoid wire or the actual power feed to the starter motor what engine are you wiring ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datto_610 Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 Power feed. Motor is a CA18DET. All wiring is done just needed a more permanent solution to the fusable link to the battery no longer being where it originally was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ta63-1uzze Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 get a power feed from a bmw wrecker they have a fusible link from factory.as part of the cable . and they typically put the battery in the boot too. so its a win win normal starter motor will draw well over 100 amps. hence fusible links are used not fuses or circuit barkers. all depending on your engine, but some starters can draw upwards of 500 amps on a cold start. diesels can be even higher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
