400 amp fuse
Cheapjeep just had the awful experience of having his golf car catch fire- man that thing is 'uckin fugly.
In that thread, a 400 amp fuse is brought up. So where in the battery string would be the proper place to install a 400 amp fuse? The negative post of the sting, the positive post of the string, going into the controler, or? Dave |

Re: 400 amp fuse
as close to the power source (batteries) as possible. + or - does not matter.

Re: 400 amp fuse
Correct! Alltrax often shows the fuse on the actual controller but I do not like this.... I want it right at the pack to stop a short at the source of the power. Plus if the fuse is at the pack, it's easy to check and replace versus being tucked up under the cart.

Re: 400 amp fuse
Has anyone ever seen one of these fuses burnt or blown? Did the cart that burned up blow the fuse?

Re: 400 amp fuse
Yes, it blew the fuse? Didn't stop the fire from happening though did it? The reason I was asking is because I have seen controller failures, & motors fail and blow the controller, & I have seen batteries blown up .... but i have never seen one of those fuses blown.
