Fuse size for battery/inverter

[flavio404]

Hello, I purchased an Eco worthy 51.2V 280AH floor standing battery and am using 2awg wire to connect it to my eg4 6000xp inverter.
I'm planning on getting the blue sea class t holder, but am unsure of what fuse size to get. My understanding was 6000/51.2=117.18. So I would need a 150amp fuse?
Blue sea class t holder 160a
South bend 150 amp fuse

Or should I buy
Blue sea class t holder 320a
South bend 225 amp fuse

Fuse protects wire. 2awg is 95a @ 60c, 115a @ 75c for ac conduit. For battery in open air, you can go a little higher, maybe max 200a.

Whoa, is this really true? Would be awesome if I didn't need to buy more 2/0 wires.

You think it's best to get 2/0 wire or stick with 2awg wire?

Typo 115a at 75c or 95a at 60c.

1 awg at a minimum.

Maybe 1/0 wire with 150a fuse.
