Posted: Tue Feb 20, 2007 6:56 am Post subject: battery bus

I have put a blade type fuse holder connected to the battery and 14 

gauge wire from there to an always hot lighter socket and a short 

wire from there to the endurance bus switch.  Is there a slow blow 20 

amp fuse for automotive blade type fuses or a circuit breaker that 

would work.  Is my endurance bus at significant risk and if so would 

a fusible link be better?  I figure e bus loads at about 5 amps.



Thanks in advance

    I presume the fuse holder is right next to the battery contactor.

    Suggest you use a separate fuse (5A) off the battery bus to drive the

    "lighter socket". Use another fuse to supply always hot wire to

    the alternate feed switch. 10A fuse is fine for a 5A bus.
