How would you build this to make sure it would carry the the load.
Her is Situation I ordered a marine post mount fuse for my rv install. when i have it mounted to to battery post its to high for the lid to close. so i came up with the solution of inverting it upside down and extending it from the post to the side of the battery (as pictured ). The buss bar will be 3 1/4" long .I made this mock up one out of a piece of L bracket just to make sure it would work. I have some 1/8" aluminum i could probably double it up or would i be better ordering some copper? How do i determine the right size for the load. its 2 6 volts deep cycles wired in series running a 1500 watt 12 v inverter. fuse will be 200 amps. I thinking i should over size for 300amps.
