gabe Forums Junkie Location: Perth Registered: June 2002	Re: battery relocation Mon, 07 June 2004 23:29 A starter motor will draw 150-200 amps easy, but only till the motor gets up to speed, for a second or two at the most. The theoretical load limit of 60A is a continuous load limit. All electrical motors will draw 500-700% their CONTINUOUS rated current, and a starter motor is exactly that, a motor. If you were to start your car and keep the starter motor turning, (provided the car didnt start) the current draw would spike for an instant and then flatline out at a much more realistic value (ie. around odd 40 Amps) I believe car companies use small wire to keep costs down. It would be adviseable to use cable that is as large as possible to the starter, especially if the battery is in the boot. And if the battery is in the boot, run a positive and a negative to the battery, dont just earth the battery in the boot and use the chassis as a return, this is a no-no. The HRC fuses are a good idea, put the fuse as close to the power source as possible. There is a place over here in WA called Alanco that sells automotive (12V) HRC fuses.
