Can a bad battery fuse drain your battery?
a fuse blows to keep current from going through the circuit. in other words, there’s no way a blown fuse can drain the battery. take the battery in to get checked, it might just be a bad battery.

- Headlights and other lights are not working properly.
- You smell burning plastic or electrical insulation.

Why does my alternator not charge the batteries?
Allows alternator to charge both battery banks, but separates the battery banks when the engine is off so that the house batteries do not discharge the chassis batteries. If so, a failed relay or wire from alternator to relay would keep the alternator from charging either battery bank.
What happens if your car battery is not charged?

In theory a car can run only with the alternator charge, but this can cause heavy voltage spikes and other strange symptoms so this means that a bad car battery can cause an alternator to not charge also. Cars are increasingly coming with modern electronics.
What causes a negative charge on a battery?
The negative charge serves as a ground. If the wires are crossed, a charge will not deliver to the battery. Damaged cables will also cause arcing or fail to deliver a charge. The battery terminals can also become corroded over time, interfering with transmission of voltage to the battery.
