components so far:
12v 100ah mini lifepo4 battery with bms (power queen)
250 rich solar panel
Victron 7515 charge controller
I bought an inline 15a mc4 fuse to go between the single Rich solar 250w panel and the 7515 charge controller. It seems like this inline fuse should be close to the panel. I'm assuming outdoors is fine (Tiny house)?
This system is only for small and/or small continuous loads. The most immediate use for this system is a 2.5 watt fan for a Separett Villa toilet. The company includes a dc specific power cord with an inline fuse and battery clips. Can I can clip this directly onto the battery and not worry about another fuse?
Itdoes seem like I may need a fuse between the charge controller and the battery. And that it should be slightly larger than the charge controller amperage. So a 20A anl fuse? Is this one appropriate?:
Also, what if I want to add other small loads? I'm thinking of a charging port hub for usb devices and laptops. I'm unclear whether to get a bolt on fuse holder or a fuse block? And would I then need still be ok attaching the fan with the clips?
Thanks for any suggstions!
