My last isolator did not have fuse much like Cuzo4x4 pictured above.
Also was mentioned that a 60 amp circuit breaker would do the job instead of a fuse.
Any help or feed back would be great I will put fuses in just to protect it all and be safe. Also any links to builds or pictures where you have installed you redarc smart start.
Cheers

Also, if you do have 2 drained batteries, you can always disconnect the second battery manually, wrap it up in a rag or something, and get a jump off your main battery.
Another reason i am looking at this is i have heard of management systems failing to disconnect and burning out etc.
Just thought id ask out of interest as i have always been taught, since i was a wipper-snapper that its the best way to do it, but everyone seems to be hell bent on electronic systems and chargers.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
