fuse question

[substance 10+ year member]

my RF Power 1000a2 amps manual says that it needs either 2 50 AGU fuses from the battery, or 1 100 ANL fuse. Can't i just use a 100 AGU? i dont really wanna have to install another AGU if i dont have to.

50 or 60 amps is the most an agu fuse is good for because their connection is not too secure (dont even think they make them that big??)

i have an 80 amp fuse right now and i think they even make 100

so if i was going to do the alternator - battery in the "big three installation" i would need to get an ANL fusebox since it would be well over 100 amps?

yeah..I would. Those anl fuses are mounted with screws so you are sure to get a good connection. The agu fuses are held with pressure in clips so I dont think they get a good enough connection to move much more than 50 amps.
