I would think all battery systems have fuses near the battery to prevent such fires from short circuits..... did yours? Looking forward to posters findings....if any.
Yes, there are two "fuses/circuit breakers" at the battery. One connected to each post. The one at the "negative" post is in bad shape. The negative "bolt post" also blew off with the cell cap on that side.
