It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

I'm putting together my first ebike build out of an old mountain bike. I'm assembling the battery pack from scratch using salvaged 21700 cells. I don't imagine many people install fuses on their battery packs but given how violent these unprotected cells could be in the face of a short... I would sleep better at night if mine had one. Trouble is, I am having difficulty finding a suitable fuse. The vast majority of fuses I can locate online are automotive/marine/audio fuses usually maxing out at 32V. The pack I plan to build will be 14s lithium ion, and thus tops out at 58.8v. Has anyone else done a battery pack build with fuse? What fuse type/rating did you use? Where did you buy them? What brand?

Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks!!

I feel like you'd might be better off just going with quality parts and not worrying about fuses.
