The blue shmoo inside is for vibration, these are intended for mobile applications, stops the heavier components from fracturing the solder joints 👍

Thanks for your comment, I do appreciate it. I can understand why it's done now.

I don't have a victron but I'm about to get one, thanks for sharing. You definitely know your way around soldering.

The blue stuf is just potting epoxy, just to keep large components in place and has no thermal function at all.

I would solder on two cables and have an external fuse

Hi Bob, sorry I don't know the answer to that. You have two choices, send it away for repairs or try heating slowly with a heat gun and gently prising the cover off. You will probably need to heat to about 80° Centigrade. Good luck Richard Ps let me know how you did.

Yes it would act as a heat sink being cast aluminium, probably about 10 minutes heating is needed to get temperature up to 80 to 100 degrees Celsius

Hi, I did say in the video. I heated the blue cover with a heat gun and slowly prized off the cover with a cranked pri bar, after screwing the unit down.

WHy you use this uneffective fuse ? It is slow so do not protect FETs, It is small, so it is hot. So tell me why use this uneffective solution, if we have much quicker and effective protection of circuits like this ?

Others may well of done something similar, but I have not seen anyone changing the fuse. I never said I was the only one to do this. Everything on KZitem has been done 10 times or more, do you stick your nose in and make this comment to all of Them? I surgest you get a life.
