People told you THEY don't use them. That doesn't mean you shouldn't. EVERY WIRE that comes off of your battery should have a fuse within the first 18" of it.

A dude had his battery explode pretty much because of no fuse in the stickied thread. The wire's ring terminal grounded out on the alternator casing and the battery started bubbling and being scary. That's like - a few millimeters between happy charging and scary bubbly battery. In that situation I would use a fuse //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/thumbsup.gif.3287b36ca96645a13a43aff531f37f02.gif
