Sure...Ive got a 24v 1500 amp battery bank. What is an automatic battery cell monitoring system ...how does it work...heat sensors ?

Different cell types and system requirements have different sensors but generaly temp, electrolyte level, s.g., present voltage, present amp draw, % charge, Ah left, H2 levels, are all things that are monitored. There is a fairly wide variety of systems out there from those for computer backup lithium cells to electric car systems, to 1MW submarine wet cell stacks (which is where the copper bus bar and an axe comment comes from). Just google "automatic battery cell monitoring system"

That may be an Alternating Current only rating. Battery banks on boats are Direct Current. Interupt ratings are frequently higher for AC than for DC because with AC the current goes to zero twice every cycle.

Thanks all... will look into it further.....
Personally, I couldn't see the problem with a T fuse.... but I was asked the question and I hadn't looked into such larger interrupt capacity breakers before....
