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...

Intra-battery-short safety fuses placed between each paralleled battery and it's neighbor can be in either the lead connecting the positive terminals between each battery and it's neighbor or in the lead connecting the negative terminals between each battery and it's neighbor, whichever is more convenient. Intra-battery-short protection is the same with each fuse in either lead between batteries.
However, as others have pointed out the chance of a massive short inside a battery is very remote ... but the danger if it ever did happen could be large.
