I did not find specs on the "Power Supply" but I rather like 3-stage converters. I don't like "power Supply" for battery charging.
As to the fuse.... if the unit does not have an internal fuse YES you need a fuse. fuse is a must.. I mean how else is a 35 dollar Transistor supposed to blow in order to protect a 35 cent fuse.. Only in the 100 amp range it's more like 300 dollar transistor and 30 dollar fuse. :)
The specs are at the link I included.
Here is the link again:
Mean Well RSP-1500-15 specs It opens a PDF file.
The specs say it has "Overload Protection, 105 ~135% rated output power, Protection type : Constant current limiting unit will shut down o/p voltage after 5sec. Re-power on to recover".
I don't know if that is sufficient protection or is a fuse still needed.
