Hi, I have this battery https://pedalease.co.uk/index.php?rt=product/product&product_id=13172424 48 v 17amp, it needs a new inline fuse,it doesnt show it on that site, its similar to this https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07RF4Q8YG
it came connected to the battery,its only blown once, anyway the connectors are wearing out, i need a new one but i`m unsure which awg to get? would the 16awg be enough? or should i get the 8awg ? https://www.amazon.co.uk/sourcing-map-Holder-Automotive-Waterproof/dp/B07SJGTDK5/ the fuse that goes in it, is purple, says 35 at the end,

regards,
Josh

Max cont discharge is 20a so fit 25a fuse, if you are using high PAS setting or throttle all the time then consider 8awg. 16awg is good for 22 - 35a continuous.

You only need to use a fuse at a level it doesn't blow, but depends on the controller max amp rating.
