New type of fuse block available

I stopped by West Marine on my way home yesterday because I was seriously thinking of buying a 150A Megafuse ($13) and doing the experiment I proposed in post #101 above. I ended up not buying the Megafuse, but I did spot a new product from Blue Sea that I thought was pretty cool. It's called a Terminal Fuse Block; here's the URL: Terminal Fuse Block - Blue Sea Systems. There's a bunch of different fuse sizes available, from 30A - 300A: Terminal Fuse - Blue Sea Systems.

Since these fuses and fuse block are pretty compact, my thinking is that the fuse block could bolt directly to the battery terminal or battery connector and thereby avoid having to find a separate place to mount the Megafuse holder. Saves a little wiring too.
