I have two Battle Born 100AH lithium batteries that I plan to charge with a BlueSolar 100/300 solar controller and Orion 18A DC charger. I know that I have to put protection on either side of the BlueSolar and Orion.
1) Should I use circuit breakers or fuses? Any recommendations one way or the other? If I use fuses, should they be ANL, or are there other choices? I've read that I should steer clear of "audio" ANL fuses.
2) I also plan to have a Progressive Dynamics AC/DC power center, as well as a cheap inverter. I plan to put each power source (AC/DC, BlueSolar, Orion) on individual switches, and tie the switched outputs together. It is my understanding that I should have a fuse or circuit breaker between the lithium batteries and the inverter. Should I put attach this fuse/CB directly to the battery (before the chargers), or directly to the inverter (after the chargers)? Please see the picture, if you like pictures.
