: It appears that you're using the top battery post lugs from PremierPowerWelder.
Yes
: Is it necessary to add the additional 225A fuse, as you've done?
You have to have something; either fusable link or fuse or heavy breaker. It appears the alternator can catch fire it it fails in a high current mode. 225A is higher than I wanted but I used the parts I could find. For a 105A alternator, I'd think a 150 to 175A fuse would be enough.
