    You work out the burst amperage of the battery and get a fuse below that amperage as per the rules:

    7.8.3 Fusing
    A fuse rated below the maximum burst discharge of the battery MUST be fitted. The maximum burst discharge current is calculated by multiplying the C rating by the capacity. E.g. 25C 2200mAh = 55 Amp
    So in that particular batteries case, it is 4 amps * 120C = 480amps (240amps constant). That, to me, sounds crazy and you'll likely never draw that much. I'd figure on it being a quarter of that, so 120amps but from experience, a 60 or 80amp fuse will be sufficient. I've yet to blow a 80A fuse in either my Featherweights or my Middleweights.
