Worth reading through the FRA rules for guidance on fuse rating
The fuse rating is set by the discharge current of the batteries. You need to understand that and rate the fuse under it
e.g. (from wiki but google does the job)
For a 2000 mAh battery with a 15C rating, the continuous current that may be drawn out of the battery is 2000 mAh x 15 = 30000 mA, or 30 Amps (A) (divide by 1000).
