IBS split charge wiring diagram

[Ducktape]

Does anyone have a wiring diagram (or sketch) for installing an IBS split charge unit? I'm actually more interested in the location and amperage of the fuses used. I've seen an IBS installation with 5A in-line fuses on each of the sensing wires, but none to protect the batteries..?

I would have thought you needed a 150A by each battery and a 20A feeding the rear Anderson plug? Also, some overlanders have used a 12V circuitbreaker which can easily be reset and you do not need to carry spare fuses which seems clever, but are they reliable in overlanding conditions?

Thanks,

I've got an 80 amp Mega Fuse on the alternator side and the AUX battery side, close to each battery, and 5 amp on the sensor wire.

No fuse on the Andersen plug - each device is independently fused. Still working on a proper power distribution box though.

Not sure on the circuit breaker - I've a few friends in SA who use them with no issues.

Cheers

I have a IBS installed in my LC, and I don't have a fuse in the main power circuit.

Here is the link to the manufacturers website with diagrams etc:
