Fuse at the battery is based upon the wire gauge not the amp. Like t said , what gauge wire ? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

150a through 4awg is the safest you want to run.

If you're not popping fuses.. don't change them.

If you want to upgrade in the future.. then use 1/0awg for the main line run and then split to two runs of 4awg. Fuse the 1/0awg at 200-350a and fuse the 4awg at 150a a piece.
