Attaching a fuse to a new set of batteries?
Due to various craziness in life, I let the batteries on my rig expire, so the only purpose they have is a core charge refund. This time around, I'm getting two 12 volt jars, using 36" 0 gauge cables...

A 200 amp fuse should be plenty, and will trip a little before a 300 amp will. Do you have golf cart batteries now? You will not be happy with a 1 year life of a 12 volt battery if you had been getting two years from the golf cart battery.
You need to keep them charged all the time. I did this with my solar system, and the first set lasted 13 years with proper care and watering every 3-4 months. The best I had ever gotten out of 12 volt batteries was about 2 years.
Good luck,
Fred.
