Re: 120 Amp Breaker Setup
Squishy,
R25 The one (1) ROBOT battery, Anderson Power Products (or APP) 2-pole SB type connectors, the one (1) main 120-amp (120A)
circuit breaker (Cooper Bussman P/N: CB185-120), and the one (1) Cross The Road Electronics Power Distribution Panel (PDP,
P/N: am-2856, 217-4244) shall be connected with 6 AWG wire or larger as shown in Figure 4-2.

Good electrical practice also suggests using a minimum number of electrical contacts in a a high current circuit. Each terminal introduces series resistance and one more potential point of failure.
