Will I need to install any 100 amp fuses in both positive battery leads or is the unit fused inside?

No, just for the new battery ( Extra one), the original circuit shouldn't be changed.

It has a safety but better be safe than sorry install one amp fuse or amp bracket between battery A do the same after unit with battery B this way you have room for up grade

Just one fuse to the second battery (+) to your unit. My second battery is hooked to two hidden cameras. (Vandals in my block) so the battery runs 24/7. it'll charge as you drive your car. Hope this helped. DP in NY

The unit is 12 Volt, 2 Amp plug in. There is not an external fuse, maybe internal. If installed in a 12 Volt car, it would be prudent to install at least a 5 Amp fuse in line.

Fusr blowing us not due to the battery, what u have the fuse protection is drawing more than 10 amps causing the fuse to blow. Is polarity correct? Is the hot lead (red) making contact with ground? Good luck.

You don't need any fuses for the panels. Even if shorted it's not a problem. You likely shouldn't use a fuse on battery either cause it draws a lot of current depending on its use. Most things are protected now as long as you don't short across you battery.

You will need fuse for every connection. If your inverter size is 1000W, you have to consider the current draw from the battery is 1000/12=83Amp. When you size the fuse, typically you need to times 1.2, so a fuse size 100Amp is safe.

You only need one. Go to you tube and click how to install these fuses. It will tell you everything you need to know.

I built a harness with a relay and hooked it into a remote fuse block I installed, but with the small amount of amps these led's draw, you don't really need the relay, but I would fuse the circuit!Hope this helps you

Keep the inline fuses. That's the way the engineers designed them. Your battery box fuses are fine to use in conjunction.

As far as I know, the fuse is to protect the wire running from the battery. Without a fuse, the wire could be overloaded, heat up and possible catch on fire. A fuse is not very expensive, definilty worth it for your safety. The fuse needs to be rated for the gauge wire that you are going to use. I have 0 gauge wire running from the battery with a 250 amp fuse. The fuse needs to be on the positive wire within 18 inches from the battery.

I think the short answer is no. the unit has internal current limiting and fuses that are listed as "reverse polarity protection". I would recommend you download and read the .pdf manual at http://www.progressivedyn.com/pdfs/109821F%20english.pdfHappy Trails!

My came with two types of fuses, one of them was the correct one. There was no need for a relay, since one was already installed from the factory.

We install the fuse on the positive cable (red) of the battery. We utilize a charger/inverter combination so only 1 cable connecting to battery and use a fuse that must equal or exceed the Minimum DC Fuse rating in your inverter/Charger's nameplate as recommended by the manufacturer of the inverter/charger which in our case since we use a 1500 W Inverter is 200A

I installed the heater in my old 1976 beettle and it Works great. I don´t think that is necessary to put a new higher amps fuse. Plinio

Mine has a 15 amp fuse, I have run this temporarily overloaded and shorted resulting in a blown fuse, with it surviving. I did however have one unit fail, after running it overloaded for too long, from excessive heat.

I didn't install any additional fuses. I'm guessing the ground wire is there to protect the battery connection. It was easy for me to do it, so I did.

I would check the draw on the two items you want to wire together. Add their current loads together and I wouldn't go more than 1/2 the rating on the fuse. Wire them in parallel. (Put both positives together and put both negatives together. Also the gauge wire of the tap determines how big a fuse you can install in the tap, it should say what fuse to use... That number would be the maximum. You can go smaller, just not larger. If both current draws (amps) add up to more than 1/2 the rating on the fuse - then radar detector and LEDs need their own circuits.

Black side I took to ground and the red side from the battery so the fuse is between the battery and the lift. I hope this helps. Eteverett13@comcast.net
