Default Installing Battery Charger - Where's the Fuse?

Hi,

I'm installing a new 20A intelligent shore powered battery charger.
The charger is located about 15 feet (wire run length) from the
battery box, separated by a bulkhead.

On which end of the wire run should the overcurrent protection go?

TIA,
SS



I'd put it close to the battery - that's where the serious fault
current will come from if you get a short in the wiring.
