Battery short circuit protection?
I've been working on a solar system and 2000w inverter install. Lots of wiring. Lots of heavy duty cables (inverter to batteries). I've also got a battery monitor set up which uses heavy duty cabli...

I've got 3 coach batteries. Do you see anything wrong with something like these (but at 350 amps each):

I figure with 350 amps each, if I need to use the Emergency Start switch to jump start the engine (if the chassis battery is dead), the draw will come roughly (except for some imbalance in wire lengths) 1/3 from each of my coach batteries. 350x3 = 1050 cranking amps....should be more than enough I'm hoping. I'll disconnect my chassis battery and try starting the engine and see if any of them blow and report back.
