Shouldn’t any control component with dinky little wires, attached to a battery, be fused?
We have all 16 LifePO4 batteries (4S4P) now connected to balancers, and it has made a huge difference. So, the Band-Aid for a poor way to do things seems to be helping immensely. We are going to install the shunts on each group of four in series and notice the control cables on the shunts have inline fuses, but the balancers have no fuse, just ring terminals designed to connect right to the batteries.
Of course, there is no website for the manufacturer of the balancer, but the two specs available state:
Compensation current: 0-10A
Rated Voltage: 4S (7-18v)
It seems the control wires should be protected. If this is true:
What voltage rating?
What ampere rating?
Slow-blow or immediate?
I found an Eaton/Bussman Ceramic Body, G 15 amp - Fuse, 15 A, 250 VAC, 125 VDC
Thanks!!
