Exclamation TechnoKat Breaker Secrets Revealed...lol

Ok....I am not an electrical person and this is basically all copied and pasted from an email i recieved about our breaker problems...this may help some people...

1. Suspend our best circuit breaker by the 6 ga. wire and 2-4 strips of latex
tubing, directly between the battery and the power panel
2. Possibly move the power panel closer to the battery (or the battery closer
to the power panel) so we can cut down the length of 6 ga. wire.

Ok....it's me again.....i know our final solution to our problem was that we did some electrical work...mounted the breaker onto a flexible/bouncy kind of V shaped lexan strip...and we really use the Cold Spray....
