I installed a 130 …
I installed a 130 Watt panel with two marine batteries. I have fused the system with a 20 amp auto fuse going into the charge controller and into the batterys. When I plug in a higher amp appliance (500W food dehydrator, angle grinder, etc) to the inverter I blow the batter fuse. What am I doing wrong?
