Bypassing or negating a fuse or fuseable link is a pretty bad idea. the fuseable link serves as a saftey measure. if your alt overloads and blows a ton of volatge into the system it can fry computers, blow fuses it can even heat wires up to the point of catching fire. thats why there is a fuseable link. the fuseable link blows before anything else. your not protecting the alt from the car or the car from the bat. your protecting the car from the alt. adding a large gauge wire from the alt to the bat is a bypass. if the alt overloads the fuseable link may blow but you created a huge highway for the surge to pass through. from there havoc is created. i will never understand why people disable saftey features. they are there to protect your ride and ultimatly you. the only responsible thing to do is to put a circuit breaker or fuse inline of the larger gauge wire.
