Suppliers of $300 devices do not customarilly reccomend $80 fuses to
safeguard their equipment. You are looking in the wrong places, I'd
say.
But I feel lazy tonight, so I won't do a search.
Anyway, $25 ought to do it, I'd think. Tops.

My wife bought me an 1750 watt Inverter at Canadian Tire. Good deal -
$299.00 Cdn (I think). Anyway...

I have all the appropriate guage wires (1/0), connectors, etc., but the
installation manual calls for a 250Adc fuse to connect next to (and between)
the batteries. Doing the math, I think I can get away with smaller (i.e.
200A) fuse, but regardless, they are still expensive. So far I have located
a few suppliers, but the prices are in the $75-$112 range. I do have a call
into a lifttruck company (and thinking perhaps golfcarts might be a source).

Does anyone have any suggestions on a source for a fuse and holder that is
less expensive?
