My plan is to use vhb tape to mount a t class fuse holder to each battery case near the positive terminal, and make the connection there with a solid bus bar to avoid extra connections.
Does this violate any best practices? I ask because, other than terminal fuses, I never see anyone run fuses on the battery itself. It seems this would be more tidy and require shorter cable runs compared to mounting each fuse holder on a backer board.
My main worry is in the event the fuse blows and there is some sort of plasma or arcing going on that this could damage the battery because of the proximity. Battery would be ampere time 200ah so it has a plastic case at least. Just wanted to make sure this wasn't a bad idea.
Thanks !
