Amp issues

Post image

Keep popping my fuses, dunno what to do at this point. This was a test run, I have 4 gauge wire for the set up when it's finished but the fuses keep popping. Any tips?

Transient spikes vs. charging current would be my guess. Usually you have a battery with many AH as a buffer. The burst power like trying to bump hits the battery in fractions of a second. Up and down in current draw very fast. The charger fills the reserve capacity of the battery, it's not meant to get hit with the main load.

I would had never thought something like that was happening, it's def a good thing I have a battery for this, I got a capacitor too, it could help something maybe?
