Linx Smart Shunt fuse size

I am about to fire up my system comprising 20x 415w modules running a provisional single 5.1k battery awaiting to build an additional 310A for more storage.

As they are both going to be connected to the Linx Power In and Lynx Shunt, should I purchase a 500A CNN fuse now for the shunt or shall I start with a lower one to suit the 100A battery and upgrade later?

I have installed an additional 125A fuse on the battery line inside the Lynx power-in unit.

I'm not sure if a 500a would be seen more as a direct bridge by the 100a battery or if will protect the system just the same.

Thank you in advance

Should each battery bank be fused independently and appropriately?

That is the idea of the Lynx Power In unit where I installed fuses for up to 4 batteries, the question remains about the Lynx Shunt

I'm confused by your comment that you installed fuses on the Lynx power in. There is no space for a fuse on the links power in, only on the Lynx distributor. Could you please clarify?

The Lynx Power In body is identical to the Distributor, all you need is the same type of 8mm bolts, stainless washers and copper-bronze locking washers inserted identically to the Distributor and you're done
