...For LiPos hardwired in parallel, you can go either way, whichever is easier to install.
Oh, one other comment you might find helpful, by running a fuse on each cell you are accomplishing the same thing in terms of reduction of losses as running two fuses in parallel for the whole pack. So in that case, you can get the same reduction of loss putting a single fuse on each as cell as you would two fuses in parallel for the whole pack.
I was a bit nervous to try it, but so glad I did. When I was working with the DNA12 and had it breadboarded I lost a dual parallel DNA12 to not paying attention when I inserted the batt. Both the DNA12 and batt got hot hot hot and a bit of smoke from the DNA12 before it blew. *poof* 70 bucks down the tube.
I would need a single fuse with a 6A hold current on each batt, correct?
I have been reading this thread with great interest but for the hell of my i cannot get my head around things (getting there slowly)
With two 3A hold fuses, you have a 6A hold which should be fine for a load of 8A.
The Datasheet says Input Amperage full load is 4.53A and recommends a 20A external fuse
Some interesting facts about paralleling fuses:
