Does fuse go on positive or negative?
The fuses are placed in the positive lines from the battery and close to the battery. If a fault occurs on the line between the fuse and the load the fuse blows and current flow stops. A ground fault on the return line is unlikely to cause any problems as there is no significant voltage on it.
Does a battery charger have a fuse?
Replace Battery Charger Fuse Locate the fuse on the battery charger. It’s usually on the front, inside a clear plastic cover. You also usually find one or two spare fuses in the same location.
What is the fuse on the positive battery cable?

Where does the positive wire go on a battery?

Why do fuses need to be on both positive and negative?
Having fuses on both positive and negative will protect the radio and wires on most failure modes. There’s going to be some rare failure modes not covered by the two fuses. For those hopefully a properly installed fuse for that circuit path protects the battery, wires, and people around them.
Where does the fuse go on a car battery?
So, fuse has no sense. Some cars have “ battery disconnect explosive charge terminal “ connected with airbag sensor. It disconnects battery if you crash car to prevent sparking an fire after incident. It can make more sense to put the fuse on the side of the battery that goes to ground. That will often (but not always) be the negative terminal.
