[QUOTE="condor22, post: 306707, member: 1932"] The self reset circuit breakers are under the hood they protect the solenoid and the cable to the rear. I still have a fuse in my mounting box before it goes into the 1220. I ran the same system in my FJ Cruiser for 4 years, they never tripped once. So I protect both the cable run and the device on a long run. Also the solenoid powers my Anderson caravan connection which doubles the in car length. The Redarc in the caravan also has a fuse next to it at the input as well. I had a chat with the auto elec that installed the solenoid for me re using self reset CCTBKRs and he said that they were better than fuses re heat under the hood and I tend to agree. Re the Redarc heat - If you run a battery down to the point where it needs the boost phase then the Redarc will run hot, even more so in hotter ambient temps. They don't run as hot if you are only ever continually topping up the battery.... [/QUOTE]
