Has anyone pulled the cover off the "doghouse" on the SDS battery monolith to find out what size fuse Zero actually uses up there? Is it the 500-amp recommended by the motor controller documentation, or do they put something bigger? It seems to be fairly well weather protected, so I don't want to break that seal to find out. Unfortunately, this particular fuse doesn't show up in the manual, but it looks pretty evident in a 3D rendering from an article back when the monolith was first released. I guess it could be current monitoring device and not a fuse, but I can't tell specifically from the rendering.
I'll also add that I am reasonably certain that the online exploded view parts catalogs are wrong with respect to this fuse. They show a single 300-amp fuse. I've read somewhere that the original bricks each had a single 300-amp fuse, but the monolith applies a single fuse to all the bricks put together. A single 300-amp fast blow fuse couldn't possibly supply the motor controller with the current it pulls.
