5.1 Battery Fuse
The battery fuse is intended to protect the electronic components of the
battery’s internal BMS from a high externally generated current. Fuses are
relatively inexpensive and easy to replace in the field compared with the
BMS, which is a high-cost item and is not serviceable in the field.
NOTE
Additional external DC fusing is required to protect the battery cables from DC over-
current and to meet installation codes.
