Fuses installed between ACR terminals A and B and each battery positive are to prevent a hazard if there is damage to the wires from the batteries to the ACR. Therefore, the fuses should be placed as close as possible to the batteries so that most of the wire is protected.

Since these fuses connect directly to batteries, choose fuse types that have sufficient AIC for your battery bank. Appropriate fuses for this application include ANL, MRBF(Terminal) and MIDI/AMI.
