My auto sparky recommended not to change anything. I thought this was a little weird, considering the alt is basically double the output. I am interested to hear what others did..

I used a toyota forklift battery terminal that has built in fuses, it runs parallel 60amp fuses.
been in the car now for almost 2 years with twin batteries, winch and falcon alt,
no dramas
