It looks like it's to prevent inrush current from the battery from damaging the inverter? What is the fuse for?

I'm not quite sure how you would rig this, other than driving a stake into the ground. I can tell you though that I have used this setup in light rain with my AB800 attached via a sync cord without any problems. Sorry I couldn't be of any more help. Let me know what you come up with if you do figure out a way of grounding it. Good luck! John -

I have been researching this all afternoon and think, Tim's setup with your additions make for the perfect lightweight outdoor location portable power source. I was just wondering about the need for a ground. Especially if connected to the light with a synch cable like when using the AB ringlite. I hate getting zapped and would like to feel secure even when standing on damp ground. any ideas on this? Thanks for the parts list.
