Zero voltage drop after new wire to fuse block

Post by sagaboy »

Before connecting a thick wire to the fuse block from the batter + terminal, I was getting a .3 volt (12.2V) drop when measuring voltage at the fuse block compared to the battery terminal

After I connecting a new wire (not sure what size but pretty thick from ACE at 30cts a feet) , I am getting the same voltage reading (12.5V) at both the fuse block and at the battery terminal.

The original after 36 years must be getting tired :roll:
