Ok - it's a 6AWG cable running from a 95AH deep cycle down the passenger side to the cargo area. The guy had this directly connected to the baintech x2 cigi sockets.
I would have had fuses or breakers protecting that but if they weren't there well they weren't there.
My old baintech power board still has the same cable that I attached to my 105AH battery with a 40AMP auto reset circuit breaker. So I'm thinking that I can attach the positive to a 40AMP auto reset circuit breaker and connect the other side to the 6AWG cable that runs of the 95AH battery.
If that is what you had before it should be ok. The baintech will be protected by the 40amp breaker.
the only extra I would do is put a 40Amp or so breaker/fuse where the 6AWG cable connects to the battery. This would reduce the chance of fire in a major crash or roll over. Sorry mate not trying to be funny. I just don't like the idea of having a rollover and a cable doing a slow meltdown and starting a fire before I could get out or be helped out. maybe I'm a bit paranoid.
