c-40 battery charging [RE-wrenches]

[Matt Tritt]

I think that with multiple strings the buss bar plan is the way to go to
avoid having to fuse each string. If there is no reason for any one
string to take too much current the need for an individual string to
have a fuse is negated. This is so weird. I used to connect all my
parallel strings to a common buss until just a few years ago. A big
battery guru told me it wasn't necessary.

The more things change the more they stay the same.

Learned Colleagues:


Would it be advisable to install a class T fuse between strings?
