Lynx distributor - fuse size recommendation

Hi! Building the electrical system for a camper van, based around 2x 300Ah Lifeblue lithium batteries in parallel, and we're looking at the possibility of using the Lynx Distributor to combine these batteries (by itsself, no lynx shunt or power-in). Wondering what the largest fuse size is that you can use in the lynx disributor? Recommendation on an appropriate fuse size? (max continous current 150A x2 batteries = 300A, or 2x200A = 400A for 30 mins, although the battery bank is sized for longer time off-grid rather than any big loads, and with our mall multiplus compact we'll never be pulling that much current)


Thanks!

Hi Peter


Please take a look at https://www.victronenergy.com/blog/2019/09/03/wiring-unlimited/


Fuse size is typically related to the cable diameter, it protects against a condition where the cable heats up enough to cause a fire.
