All the electric conversion questions made me wonder about some tractors I switched to 12 volt for myself. I use a properly sized fusible link for 10 guage wire at the point my wire leaves the point of battery cable attachment and goes on to the ampmeter. Then use a fuse for accessory wires. My question is when the alternator is sending the current back to the battery is the fusible link doing any good or necessary? Only used alternators from older general motors with internal regulator rated I think from 37 to 42 amps so far. If the battery would get real low would they charge enough to melt the fusible link? Never happened for several years.
