After getting some more advice from
Ted Ede and
Yaz, both of whom I probably should have talked to first, I upgraded
the 12V DC tap on my Lexus CT200h, that I had just installed yesterday. I removed the original tap line. I ran out to O'Reilly Autoparts and picked out 10 AWG wire and and an in line fuse box, and decided on a 25A fuse. At checkout I was reading the case holding the fuse holder and realized that the wiring for it was 12 gauge, so I traded the 10 for 12, as it made more sense (there were no easily identified 10 AWG fuse holders). I redid the tap line as I had done it yesterday, but with the fuse in line on the red wire. Didn't take long at all.
The tap cable with fuse in line, I later protected the live ends with a converted EC5 adapter, as I had done before.
Tap line just before bolting it on the 12V battery.
Now convenient AND safe!
