Hey guys, I've got some questions to throw out there.

My starter battery finally died after way too much abuse from EOC. I was draining the battery much too far and well, starter batteries are not made for this application.

As I only had the cash for one battery, the stock location has been deleted. Right now the positive wire connecting to the stock positive lead is pretty red neck. It's wrapped in a load of electrical tape and duct tape and zipped to my plastic air intake to avoid contact with the chassis. (1) Could I get ideas on how to do this in a safe sano way?

I've routed 1 gua positive wire (Welding wire) through the interior of the Civic to the trunk hiding it nicely along the passenger side (17' holy cow). Installed an Trojan 24 AGM deep cycle in a box with hold down straps in the trunk in the well for the spare tire (they both fit). So I've made the connections and it works great but I want to make this a safe setup!

(2) I understand I should fuse the positive wire close to the battery in case of a short due to chafing or accident to prevent a fire, so what rating of fuse should I be looking at that won't hurt power to the starter but will blow in the event of a short?
