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...

Fuses are used when precise limits are not to be exceeded. They are perfect for use with high draw stuff like an inverter. 150-amps per battery sustained is a lot. Do you ever need say 150-amps total both batteries from your battery bank? This advice is merely ideas to take into consideration.
With fuses, remove the element then smear silicone grease into all the nooks and crannies. Use a Q-tip. Then smear silicone grease over 100% of the fuse itself then assemble. Might as well make stuff corrosion and oxidation proof. If you connect a LOUD alarm across both terminals of a fuse it will screm its fool head off announcing the Four Horsemen Of The Apocolypse are there.
