Direct hit from alt. to battery

Re: Direct hit from alt. to battery
Its not going to hurt anything, however it sounds like your trying to put something a bit too big for the current your alt is pushing, an 8 GA or if your really determined to run too big of a wire for no reason even a 4 GA will more than do it.
Your only going to lose .2V if you used 18" of wire between the alt and the block, .1V if your only using 1 ft. .04 if you used 4 ga at 1 ft and .056 at 18".
So is the hassle of fitting a large terminal on the block for a 4 GA really worth it over a much more reasonable 8 GA terminal for the .06V or so you'd gain ?
