Hi everyone
This is a question to all you lucky people that took delivery of your Carthago with 2 Gel Batteries fitted as standard. Our new C tourer only has one 80 Amp Hour Gel Battery, with space for a second which we want to fit shortly.
Question is: Did Carthago Fit an in line Fuse between The batteries or not?
The regs say that if a Fuse is fitted that it should be outside the enclosed battery box as a spark from it blowing could be dangerous igniting any battery fumes etc.
However this seems a tad over the top as the batteries are so close together and all we would be doing would be linking them together in parallel to act as one.
So the question is do or dont I fit the in line fuse??
Any answers to this would be very helpful.
Thanks
Les
