Gary, two things I should have mentioned:
1. Be sure to use a fusible link whenever adding a second charging wire
to a car. Even though you are splitting the charging juice, select a
gauge of wire rated for the particular alternator's full output, and a
gauge for the fusible link that belongs with that wire. Four gauges
higher (thinner) for the fusible link.
2. I don't think that we need anything over, say, 50 amps with our
cars, unless they have A/C, probably. I thought I might use an electric
fuel pump and electric fans on my car, which I didn't. I'm not sure how
much alternator power is required for these accessories. Maybe someone
else can answer that?
