ABSTRACT:
A fuse system for a battery charger provides fuse links for safely charging a plurality of batteries in parallel connection. A fuse system is used with a power supply comprising a positive and a negative terminal. The positive and negative terminals of the power supply are connected respectively to separate positive and negative bus bars of the fuse system. A plurality of connectors separately connect the positive bus bar to the positive terminals on the batteries and separately connect the negative bus bar to the negative terminals on the batteries. Each connector includes a fuse link. The fuse link comprises a plurality of fusible conductors connected in parallel. A transparent cover over the fuse link protects the operator and enables the visual inspection of the condition of the fuse link.
