Thread: 160A alternator upgrade, will the cables cope?

"in that situation you'll find that the manufacturer has fitted a battery thats not able to push enough amps to kill the starter with normal use...."

OK that sort of fits with what I read, I can imagine a scenario where you have an engine with good compressions but reluctant to start, big cables and a nice AGM battery. That could let some of the precious smoke out of the starter?

I highly recommend doing this. It isn't expensive, even with good quality cable and well worth it IMO.

Well, we all know that Landrover starters are not wimpy. Isuzu?
