[QUOTE="brian84corvette, post: 8315542, member: 586635"] a battery is a power source, in the event of an accident - you will rely on the fuze to blow if a dead short situation somehow happens. any where you have a wire coming off of a battery it needs a fuze with in 12 ish inches of the battery terminal. just imagine worst case scenereo something hits your truck - and a metal something cuts in to your wires causing direct short to frame ground - all the power from your batterys are now dead shorting to frame ground - heating up wire and metal and attempting to catch fire to anything in the near by areas. its about as much power as a good ark welder going on right there inside your truck. any thing flamable where your wires run ? now imagine same scenereo - with fuze - dead short happens - lotts of current flows thru the fuze - fuze pops equipment and batterys are safe - no fire - eazy fix unless you dont care like above poster stated - lotts of guys use fuze and lotts of guys dont use fuze.
