The crowbar would then pop the fuse that I put at the battery..
I guess I'm overly conservative, but I'm using #8 wire fused at 30A
(aka "aw shit fuses") between the battery and the charger, and the
battery and the system. These fuses are located right at the B+
terminal. On the other end of the battery cable, there's a breakout
that has six taps with fuses sized per the loads. The basic rule is
that the wire has to be rated for continuous current at the fuse rating.
Spare fuses in the cabinet of course.
