Apart from blowing the mainfuse have I killed my beautiful car?????!!!

The battery supplied to me is a heavy duty 510 amp have I been duped or will this be okay?

its a 323 f (protege)

Thanks in advance

That's about 200 amps more then you need. It will work, but overkill IMO

Have you killed your car? Probably not, that's what the fuse is for. It should have protected everything else, namely the ECU. Once you put a new fuse in, I'd cross my fingers none the less

But I think you'll be ok.
