Jerry, I have no disagreement about use of a fuse on the main cable from the battery, although, like Jan, I have not seen an insulation failure in that cable. But the point of my post was only to point out that that fuse would likely not prevent the overheated battery due to overcharging that Shannon experienced.

Agreed, one of the blessings of single cable alternators is that they make this whole setup simple and reliable. Older systems were often a problem.

H#ll Auto Zone sells 19 different fuses set up to go directly on the battery in cars, so that's nonsense.

(Talk about nonsense!) Again I will say, our cars don't need a battery fuse....LoL! Nor do ANY vintage vehicles of 50 years old. They are fine and don't need a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

Like I said already, do what you want. You have your opinion. I have mine.
