December 18, 20232 yr Just thought I'd share a tip, it might be useful for someone... Mainly for Victron users, but applicable elsewhere: If you find yourself needing 'MEGA' fuses for battery installations (68.5mm x 16.5mm, with M8 lugs) - particularly those rated to cope with a 48Vdc system [so 58v +], you'll be hard pressed to find any supplier in Europe offering them for less than about £30 GBP each. 😲 Well, CPC/Farnell (who can ship internationally) do them for about a tenth of the price. That is all. 🙂
