I am reworking a Licitti 1000 battery box more to learn than anything else. But as I am working along, I realize the Licitti has less fuses than most would recommend.
The DC switch disconnects everything from the battery, but the main battery cable is not fused.
The 175 amp anderson is not fused.
The 50 amp Anderson that feeds the 10 amp MPPT is not fused.
The other auxiliary 50 amp Andersons all run through a 50 amp auto reset fuse which seems small if loaded to 50 amps.
The 12v cig socket and two USB sockets are all fused with one 30 amp blade fuse.
IE the only accessible fuses in the box are the 30 amp blade fuse and 50 amp auto fuse.
There are fuses on the Inverter board but they are not replaceable as far as I can tell. They are soldered in.
In doing research what I have found is it would be best to fuse the main battery cable, fuse the Andersons which they are, but higher rating, fuse the solar input, and fuse the 3 auxiliary 12v plugs, IE cig and both USB sockets individually.
Please feel free to correct my thinking.
Thanks
