RE: My starter battery caught fire!!
Mine is mounted in my field box with velcro on the bottom. I have my power panel and fuel pump tied together with insulated spade connectors, that slip over the male spades of the pack battery. so far no problems. I additionally will be placing a piece of rubber sheeting over the top of it, when I install it in my fieldbox from hell.
Fusing wouldnt hurt either. perhaps a 1.5 Amp?
