Alright, we've brought our positive and negative wires from the charge controller and they're going through a new fuse and they're going to go down to the battery. Let's just take a look at this style of fuse box. It's a little more advanced and, in fact, we have two sets of fuses with a switch, so we can make safe and turn off the whole device and we're still being protected by some smaller 30 amp fuses, here, which should keep us safe. And that is how that works. We'll turn it off and go ahead and connect our batteries. So now we've got our battery here, let's take one of our connections off. Let's see, positive is red, negative is white, or black in this case, I see. There we go. This also has the wires that run out to our charge controller connected, or excuse me to our inverter connected. So, we've got several wires coming off these. Now, we're ready to charge our batteries with the solar. And now we're ready to put our fuse back in this holder which will connect the panel to the charge controller and start charging the batteries.
