What does the fuse on the positive battery cable do?
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. ServiceTitan® is built to grow your electrical business.
Where does the positive wire go on a battery?
There should be two heavy white wires that attach to the positive side of the battery one goes to fuse box for power distribution the other is the return from alt. There is also a 60 amp alt fuse in fuse box under hood. Make sure connections are clean and tight or battery won’t charge.
Where to place the fuse on a battery?
Recommended practice is to place the fuse near the positive terminal of the battery, so the whole circuit will be dead if the fuse blows. (Of course, if the positive terminal is considered Ground, place the fuse near the negative terminal.)
Does it matter if a fuse is connected to the negative or?
It should be clear that a ground fault on the positive wire would be unprotected, F4 would not blow but BAT4 would pass high currents. Again, for circuit analysis it is normal to use the conventional current flow from positive to negative. Don’t worry about electrons, just think of it as charge moving from + to -.

What can a battery terminal fuse be used for?
These terminal fuses provide easy and economical circuit protection. They are ideal to use as circuit protection for your DC electrical system or battery banks. They are available in 3 current ratings from 50, 100, and 200amps. They feature a clear transparent housing to provide visual indication of blown condition.
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.
Where are the positive and negative battery cables?
Think of these cables as the large rivers that carry the water from the reservoir into a city’s water main system. The negative cable is normally black, and the positive cable is normally red. The positive cable, normally red, divides into two very large sections. One section goes to the engine and under hood area.
