Relocated Battery Wiring

Here is my plan for how to wire it.

From the battery, I’ll connect to a 135 amp circuit breaker with 1/0 gauge wire rated for 150 amps. This would give me some protection to the wire running from the bed to the engine and ensure I don’t exceed its capacity. Then continue with 1/0 to the engine compartment. I’d connect the 1/0 wire to a battery terminal stud mount rated for 250 amps. From this mount I would connect the existing wires (all 1/0 gauge already) that connect to my battery now (starter, alternator, fuse panel and stereo amp).

I have a 100 amp alternator, my amp is max 400 watts and no AC. I do run a FAST EFI system with an electric pump.

I’ve upgraded the grounds using 1/0 wire to the chassis and to the engine block. I’d add another ground to the frame from the battery once it’s in the bed.

Does this sound okay? Any thing you would change?
