Hello, Im new hope i can post this question here. What fuse should I use on the Renogy 12v gel battery 200AH with the "PIP 812LV 800W 12V 120Vac Solar Inverter + 40A MPPT charger + Gen/Util 20A"
 
Looks like your PIP puts out 800 watts standard so maybe surge of 1600 so 1600/12=133 amps which means you need a 150 amp fuse.

check the surge of your PIP to confirm

Yes but almost all inverters have a surge rating that is 2x "continuous" power. What no one has decided here that I know of is, is the inverter storing that extra energy in its capacitors or is it pulling from batteries. I would use at least a 100 amp fuse.
