Matt,

I'm not an electrical engineer and one of them might be able to
give you a more authoritative answer. But, from a plain old guy,
it's my opinion that it is never appropriate to make a circuit from
a battery to a load without a fuse in it. If one of the wires shorts
to ground while the switch is on, enough heat will be generated
in the wire to ignite the insulation and anything near it. In my
humble opinion, I think that you have created a serious hazard.

The size of the fuse will depend on the size and type of wire you
used. Let us know about that and I'm sure that someone with
more knowledge than I have will tell you what size fuse is safe
for that wire.

Good luck,

Tom in TN
