'battery fuse optional' [RE-wrenches]

[hugh piggott]

<x-flowed>In order to get a bi-directional (synchronous charging and gen 
support) sinewave inverter for 120V battery operation, I had to order 
one from 'power solutions australia'.  They seem to be the big 
supplier to the burgeoning off-grid market there.   There was a 
german one but they sounded pretty vague on the phone, like they were 
still building it.

The inverter is not here yet but I finally have sight of a manual in 
word format.  Under battery wiring I find the following statement:

>Battery fuses optional. If fitted rating to be four times maximum 
>inverter current to protect against battery and wiring faults.

I think I'll put a fuse in there.  Sizing the cable could be 
interesting though.
