The Aims 2000 W inverter I have installed recommends a 250 amp fuse. My 250 amp fuse box came with 60 amp fuses inside! Thus, on my next trip a few days later I limited my power use to much less than my design goal of about 1500 Watts.

The power use I tested was limited to about 150 to 200 Watts. At that power use, there was no surface temp rise based on the "touch" monitor. More later when I get the larger fuses!

On the battery temperature issue, I just bought and installed the Victron battery temp monitor. Pretty low cost and transmits data to my Victron App.
So, temperature compensation is automatic. Is it necessary? I can not offer how nevessary but at this price I am not concerned about how necessary. My two 6 volt batteries cost north of $300 so life extension is a good goal.
