Since there is no model-agnostic Audi electrical forum...forgive me for posting this here.

I am running a direct accessory line to the battery of my Q5. I see there are a number of 6mm x 1.0 studs on the positive terminal assembly, one of them unused, and the others having a flat stamped piece of metal, presumably a fusible link similar to an ANL fuse, installed between them.

I'd like to find out what Audi calls these so I can go about and order one and use the unused terminal that's already there. I'm rashly guessing an ANL fuse will not fit, although in theory they are safe than stamped metal links such as Audi is using.

Anyone know a name? Or any other specs?


And is there anything similar on the negative terminal size? All I see there, is the cable harness descending into the depths under the battery, didn't see any distribution points that conveniently located.

LATER:
Audi apparently calls them simply "fuses" although the Wikipedia calls them "limiter fuses" and notes the primary use today as being direct battery fuses in very heavy loads, like forklifts. Although the description and drawings in the online parts categories seem to show rather complete assemblies, all over the car, rather than just the fuses. Priced under $4 each, which is comparable to ANL fuses and similar types that offer a bit more "spatter protection" when they blow. (Which can be
rather forcibly.)
