Connect fuse directly to battery terminal?
Can I connect a Mega style fuse directly to the battery terminal with the other end connected to the cable with a bolt? If it blows does the fuse stay in one piece? I installed new batteries and th...

Is this type of catastrophic fuse even necessary?
How big is the wire? How many amps of fuse are directly connected?
It's 2/0 wire, max amp draw is probably around 150. It's overkill but my inverter is very picky about low voltage.
OK, the MAXI fuse will not go that high.
But the MEGA fuse that westend pictured will work.
And there's other similar bolt-on, low-profile fuses (AMI, ANL, Class T) with that amperage. But they have different short-circuit speeds. I think BlueSea recommends Class T for inverters as they are fast.
