I assume I should install an in-line fuse, what type &amp; what size? Any help would be appreciated.

MUGS, No need for an in line use. Simply wire to a battery with a minimum of 650 cold cranking amps. Thank you!

The size fuse depends on the load. Typical on a main line for a boat or rv is 50 amps. The fuse is on the hot side going to the converter. Hopefully your input side has a fuse if it is from a charger. If from a motor, ie generator/alternator, no additional one is typically neede.

I used an 80amp blade fuse and holder sold for an automotive audio amplifier. I bought mine at Wal-Mart (It was under $20) as I needed it right away, but Amazon probably has it too. I cut the positive battery cable (with a hacksaw) and the fuse holder was installed in-line.

I put a fuse in line. I am running the KC fog lamps, and the KC spots on my Jeep. I'm running a 50" LED light bar on my Ram. I never run anything with out a fuse. They are not that expencive to buy. If something happens, you want that fuse to blow rather than run the risk of catching your vehicle on fire.

Look for the same size fuse as in the plug. If it does not say take the fuse to the store with you. Most of the car cirgarette lighter fuses I have seen range from a low of 20 amps and a high end of 30 amps. newer cars are likely to have 25 amp as a common. TBH I would say just get a 30 amp because the chip circuit breakers in the car tend to cost less and are easier to store.

I used the Knu Konceptz KCA 4 gauge kit. Any wiring kit with an 80 amp or larger fuse will work.

Look at your old ones, this is used for radio/CD player, A/C control and cigarette lighter on my Toyota Echo dashboard. If I use them all at once, the fuse trips. For example, A/C is on, my CD player is running with input from my iphone and I am charging my iphone all the same time. If your old fuse looks similar to these and were rated for 15 Amps, they should fit. For different amperage, there are different colors.

I used a 10 amp fuse and it worked very well. My amp meter never pulled more than 5.5 amps in any mode. Hope this info helps.

I cant remember the amperage of the fuse but i used the inline bulb fuse that came with the Knu Konseptz 4 guage wiring kit. Its the best stuff you can get! Only like 25$ & all the wiring you need to install a 4k system. Best of luck to ya bro

I suggest that you buy both the regular (ato) fuses and the mini fuse assortment if you want good coverage. It seems that the Honda uses MAINLY mini fuses, but I could be wrong.Howard

I dont have this exact unit, but one like it, and it was connected to a breaker panel. I solved the fuse problem by replacing them all with 15A fuzes since the breaker panel was easier to access.

Tripplite's website shows that at full load it consumes 200 amps. If you plan on using it fully loaded, you may want a slightly larger fuse than 200, or use a circuit breaker. Fuse size also depends on the size and length of wiring you use to connect it to

You can never go wrong adding an in-line fuse right of the battery connection. Most professional installs will place a fuse in the first 6-12 inches of wire/cable. The distance of the cable and constant watt draw does matter on the size of wire used. I will be using 4 AWG since I will be running it over 15 feet or so for a permanant mount in my truck. If they are recommending running 8 AWG wiring, it would be a 100 amp fuse by US standards for 12v applications. This would be at a full load.

i got the R300x4 the recommended fuse is a 50 amp...on the R250x4 a 50 amp is also recommended

I got replacement fuses at 'Home Depot' in NY. Don't know where you live, but any hardware shop with an electrical section should have it.....

The instructions don't say you should, I never have in 20 years of use. Some I know have used a 30 amp fuse. To be safe you probably should. One of those things I am to do but never do.

I used a 5 amp in mine. I would think that the original fuse would be fine for whatever circuit you are putting this in, then see what the requirements are for your dash cam and choose an appropriate fuse.
