Soooooooo... We finally got that CUCV up and running and I was finally able to start on the FC. First thing.... put the list up on the wall



If anybody uses an Optima battery, they know that they like to die, and die fast when left to thier own demise. I've got a batter cut off switch so that when the switch is turned off, the only circuits with power are the alarm, horn, PW, PDL, and the radio memory. If she sits for a few weeks, the battery is stone dead. Sooooooo, after getting one replaced on warranty I picked up this little gem and mounted it on the wall.



Now, how to connect it to the car? Well, the little kit comes with an adapter that has a pair of aligator clips on them. Ok, maybe.... but that means I need to put the passenger seat forward, pull the lid off the storage bin lid, lean in, clamp them on, hope they don't fall off etc etc etc. Royal PITA. luckily, they have a little adapter that you can hardwire to the battery. Cool shit, it even has a little fuse there. 15A, interesting but I'm not going to argue or try to reinvent it.



I've got my battery mounted in the passenger side bin, and mounted rather snugly. I've got a powerpost in plain view for the various grounds, to bat, to chassis, to jumper, to amp, to fuel pump, and now to charger... cool. Coming off the battery I've got a 2ga cable that runs right to that main breaker. From there it goes to the remote bat switch and splits from there to go to a bunch of different places. So, seeing as how this is already fused, the best place to wire it up is going to be on the line side of the main breaker. One of my BIGGEST complaints about other peoples wiring is when they stack shit on battery terminals. I fucking hate it. I've seen boats sink becuase of it, fires almost start etc etc etc.... One of my rules is one cable per terminal. So it's going on the breaker



And here is the connector mounted on a little bracket that I threw together.
