The battery leads have no disconnecting means or OCP. I have been looking for sensible hardware to provide this and I have found some options. I am interested in any input on these or ideas I have not discovered.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p><u></u><span>1.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman""> </span></span><u></u>SMA BATFUSE. I am having trouble deciding which one is right for a 3 SI install. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p style="margin-left:1.0in"><u></u><span>a.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman""> </span></span><u></u>The B.003 appears to have fuse positions for the positive and the negative leads. I am fairly darn certain I don’t want fuses in the negative leads of a negative bonded system, and although this is my first SI install, I am pretty sure this is negative bonded. Am I missing something here? <u></u><u></u></p>
<p style="margin-left:1.0in"><u></u><span>b.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman""> </span></span><u></u>The B.001 has only positions for two fuses as far as I can see from the manual.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p style="margin-left:1.0in"><u></u><span>c.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman""> </span></span><u></u>So it looks like neither will work for me. Does anyone have any experience and/or wisdom here?<u></u><u></u></p>

I want to control the AC elsewhere so I could order three slave units. The Midnite unit mounts right under the inverter but I would prefer to have the OCP closer to the batteries.<u></u><u></u></p>
