Starter contactors on firewall become a tie-point for the altenrator's b-lead to tie into the fat-wire system. Battery contactors are generally only inches away from Battery(+).

Not sure what this means . . . what hardware are you using for regulators . . . do they have ov protection built in?

What I meant to say was I placed the ANL Current Limiters Before the connec tions from the B-Lead to the Starter Lead and Crossover Lead. (50 amp prima ry, 30 amp secondary) I am using the B & C Regulators (LR3C-14) on both circuits. From: "Robert L.
