Re: FIRST Back-up Battery Charger

You should fuse EVERY power bus coming off the battery. The charge circuit is no exception. It will prevent an overall loss of power if something in that circuit shorts to ground.

To answer your question, technically, it'll work either way. But the smart answer is to determine the max current it will draw, and fuse it.
