Bill;
The route current takes from the alternator is first to the starter then
to the battery and finally the fuse block. The link to the starter is the
weakest. The battery to starter cable is satisfactory, it has to handle
the huge starter current. I have not investigated the battery to fuse
block cable. I would wager a doughnut that it is also in need of
upgrading.
To install a cable from the alternator to fuse block ,in my mind, would
seem labor intensive. The cable I installed from the alternator to the
starter only took a few minutes and took care of the
not-fully-charged-battery problem. I am planning on running a wire to
boost headlight voltage in the future.
Drive Safely & Good Luck
