Do I Need to Fuse a 2s2p Battery Setup to My Charge Controller?

Asked By CuriousCat123 On

I'm working with a 2s2p battery configuration, specifically using two 195-watt batteries with a short circuit current of 10.5 amps. I'm wondering if I need to install a fuse when connecting this setup to a Renogy 60 amp charge controller. Any advice?

It really depends on the type of batteries you're using for your setup. Generally, it's good practice to fuse your battery connections to prevent potential issues. Just ensure the fuse matches your battery ratings and the charge controller's limits!

Exactly, safety first! If you're using LiFePO4 batteries, you should definitely check their recommendations on fusing, as they can have different requirements.
