Do we need to put a fuse on the positive side of the battery?

Hey,

So I was wondering if we always have to put a fuse on the battery (positive side) or not.

Okay, thank you.

If I would like to use one. Could I use this one? Quick reminding about the solar panel I want to buy: Nominal current (Imp) 4.3 A. Short-circuit current (Isc) 5.98 A.

Can I connect this to a 10A EPEVER Mppt charge controller? How?

And if you know some videos about fuses, I am grateful.

you have to use your own idea here and resurch the web ,

as I have said before its up to you what protections you put in. contact the person you purchased the mppt off and get there advise as its not a victron unit.
