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...

One of the downsides is that blown fuse needs to be replaced....
What about installing a circuit breaker instead?...
Breaker is not a replacement for battery fuse. Fuse is mounted as close to the battery as possible (ideally - on the battery). Breaker is mounted where it's easily accessible. The correct way is to run Pos wire from the battery fuse to Pos bus, and from there to various breakers.
mlts - 300A is an overkill unless you have a big inverter. With 2*12V you don't want to run more than 100A, so - even with inverter you don't need more than 200A fuse.
