For what it's worth, these work really well...



I sell these all day long. And I've used them in vehicle applications many times. They come in an assortment of sizes, and are modular, so they can be expanded as your needs are.

Whoops.... forgot I was reading an old thread...

Does that thing have a name? The pic isn't especially revealing.

Alternator?

Reviving an old thread. Where did you make your connection from the alternator? Directly to the + lead on the battery or would you connect it to the split terminal in the engine bay? If the latter, would this connection damage the other circuits (main fuse box, starter)?

My main power distribution point is at the ECU in the passenger footwell. So I ran the alternator B wire through the harness to that point.

The stock location however is the non-battery side of the 80A fuse. That's a fine location.
