House Battery Connections
#18

Hi Forest,
I've been impressed with the consistently knowledgable folks at BB. And eager to put these batteries to work.
Thanks for pointing out the slo-blo fuse on the negative. It makes sense to me that the cut-off switch would lift the battery ground. But since the negative battery cable still goes to the inverter and loads (even with the switch off,) there doesn't seem to be a real emergency disconnect; there are lots of other ground connections in the system. I hope to understand Newell's design wisdom as I learn more.
The owner's manual points out the fuse on the negative ground connection but makes no mention of a positive fuse, and I have not found one.
Any idea why there are two positive cables from the battery bank - maybe just a cable sizing issue that wouldn't work through the single terminal block?

Thanks again!
