Keep it up, I dare you. Enough children. There are ways to say things that don't incite insults and flame wars. The above are not examples.

I'm not sure on how great they would be, but I know Autozone carries a 2 ga. jumper cable that is 20 ft. long (x2 wires) for around $41

I agree, this is something that he has been carrying on since he was banned repeatedly from TeamFC3S.

A good place I have found for electrical supply is www.DelCity.net

Edit - http://www.delcity.net/delcity/servl...=179649&page=1

$36 plus they have some bitchin solder slugs and terminals. I find the website NOT very intuitive, but FULL of really good stuff, just tough to find

It's a breaker, right? Does it have a maximum amperage rating that it won't safely break at? If not, go for it and see if it works. I've said my piece about batteries and how much power they're intended to give in certain situations, I shouldn't need to repeat myself.

you could just measure your own storage compartments or look it up in a manual instead of asking us to do it for you...

Why would you need 2 circuit breakers? We are talking about 1 circuit breaker placed within 12" of the battery.

If you use than under your hood you are going to find that bare copper wires rot out rather quickly.

I wouldn't recommend you use that. The plastic is very brittle and will last only a few weeks, assuming it doesn't crack as you are attaching the cables.

Personally I've never seen the need for more the one breaker, but to each his own.
