Hi geniuses, do you route comp releases thru extra relay or just from solenoid? Don’t want to test if Dogs little brain and start relay can handle extra load unless I get confirmation it is OK....
and yes, I know all about replacing that breaker in pic with fuse

Got it

Of course anyone who owns or purchases any model Big Dog should immediately replace the BD VR with a CompUFire or Cycle Electric VR and then they don't have to worry about what damage the stock VR can cause hence no need to eliminate the breaker.
BD VRs have easily been the number one electronic component killer since BD started using they're own proprietary VR.

I've also seen the breakers wired wrong....

A good VR should have a Relay in the event of a battery issue. So a breaker is fine as long as it's not wired backwards
