Hi guys, I have the PX 3 and the positive terminal on the battery is full of all different lugs or bolts. I want to connect onto one of these bolts for my dual battery fuse. Anybody know which is the best one use or are they all the same?

Cheers

I use the unfused post which is closer to the back of the flap when lifted, A neat trim of the cover and ran toward the fuel filter means it does not look out of place.

From here I run to a 200 amp breaker which it mounted on the back of the fuel filter bracket. Ideally the closer the battery terminal the better, I prefer breakers for ease of quick isolation to the rest of the system and it can quickly be reset if the need arises.

If you go the breaker route make sure to use a fuse that is rated to suit the cable, do not go huge just for the sake of it. If I remember I will take a picture.
