Do you mean the mega fuse holder ? Just went to connect to batteries and now not sure whether I need a sepearate lead to each battery as they are fused separately away from battery box ? No idea where the earth is going as disapears into a conduit !

No idea where the earth is going as disapears into a conduit ! I was looking at the FH430/40 because they are wired and you can therefore connect to a different size cable with an ordinary connector block.

Bored with it now as nothing has gone right ! Think I will ring sajent electrical who do all swifts electrics as I suspect both batteries are separate until they get to the main control unit so guess will have to treat as 2 seperate banks ? Have found a company that makes wiring harnesses for solar as seems to me by the time I buy wires terminals and fuse holders and crimpers it will be easier to have a professionally made harness ?

Hi Charlie, I used copper lugs staked/crimped to cable then bolted into Midi fuse holder with midib fuse. As here on ebay :-
eBay item number:221192487848 eBay item number:281287014397 eBay item number:291089405055
I found that a good mechanical connection is better!!!!!!!!..less voltage drop!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok spoke to Sarjent and battery cables join 0.8 metres away from fuse box so maybe 1. 5 metres from batteries . They join in a connector block so do not really want to destroy that ! Am thinking if I do just run power from solar to one battery the other will get a feed from where cables join or do I go to the expense of asking sarjent to make up a lead ? Other idea is 2 sets of cables at the same length from the controller to the 2 seperate batteries ? Existing battery cables are 6 mm .
