So... getting closer to putting things in place in the truck camper... one of which is a Victron Lynx distributor, so the only things coming off the battery terminals will be the leads to the disconnect (+) and shunt (-), and on to the bus bars of the Lynx.
Right now the factory pre-wire #2 cables for the generator (Onan 2500w) starter comes *directly* off the battery terminals, with no fuse that I can find. According to my clamp-on ammeter, peak starting current is 350-375A - for about a second or two.
Going forward, what's the best place to land those leads? If it's the Lynx distributor, what should I fuse them for? Would it be acceptable to tap off the end lugs of the Lynx, and mount a single fuse just for the gen starter, so as to get a little extra room? I'm planning to use all the spots on the Lynx (and then some) but don't have enough space for a second one.
