NOVELTY - The fuse body (1) has a battery connection portion (21) which is connected to a battery post (3). The external connection terminals (23) are connected to an electric instrument, e.g., alternator of vehicle or illumination of vehicle. The fuse portions (25) connect the battery connection portion with the respective external connection terminals. The external connection terminals and the fuse portions are positioned above an upper face (15) of a battery (7) and positioned within the periphery of the battery in plan view when the battery connection portion is connected to the battery post.    USE - Fuse body for use with battery of vehicles.    ADVANTAGE - Reduces protrusion amount from the side face of the battery when the fuse body is installed to the battery since the fuse body is mounted to the battery via the battery terminal which inclines to the side face of the battery. Allows the battery terminal to be detached from the battery post by permitting the battery terminal to be integrally installed to the battery post and enabling another proper operation of the tightening portion. Prevents adhesion of dust or water drop to the fuse portion from the outside of the fuse body when the fuse body is in use by providing an element covering. Prevents the fuse portion from being broken due to fusing by prohibiting adhesion of dust or water drop to the fuse portion from the outside of the fuse body when the fuse body is in use. Improves visibility of the fuse portion since the fuse portion is disposed above the upper face of the battery in the fuse body. Improves workability of mounting the battery terminal to the battery since the battery terminal is inclined to the side face of the battery so that a space is provided in the periphery of the tightening portion of the battery terminal. Enables the tool to be easily engaged with the nut for turning the nut since the space is provided between the nut and the side face of the recess portion of the battery. Enables the number of first external connection terminals and the number of fuse portions to be increased without the need for significantly changing the configuration of the fuse body since the fuse body is installed to the battery, the first external connection terminals are positioned above the upper face of the battery, and the fuse portions are positioned above the upper face of the battery.
