Lithium battery discharged for no reason

I've just run the inverter with the 1000watt load for 30 minutes and the app said 85% so that's what you expected. I've put it back on charge and will see if the app gets to 100% before the charger does

That's a 25A alright and it looks like the issue was probably dirty/ corroded/ bad contact between fuse and fuse holder.
Sounds like you'll be conducting a major rewire anyway soon so because those panels will give you around 12A into the battery I'd use a maxi fuse next time....12A long term is too much for a standard blade fuse IMHO, seen too many getting hot like yours.

Digikey.
RS components.
Farnell.
CPS.
Mouser.
To name just 5 places where you'll absolutely know 100% that you're getting a certified product that fails at the correct current and time period.
They all have an online store. Bussmann fuses are around 30p each but there's around a fiver for P&P. If that's too much then go to Halfords like I said. Alternatively stick with your bargain basement 10million for £4.99 rubbish and set fire to your van.

I can only give advice, I can't make you listen.

AND I'll have you know I AM I nice chap....I did say please.

We do have halfrods a mile from me near abbey centre, i have bought one or two items in the past, but ask them any questions and the staff have no clue.
Just a few hundreed yards from me is a moto supply shop and they are top dog, but i have no idea where they buy stock.

That fuse looks like it has overheated due to poor or loose connection causing it to spark and overheat , replac with good quality fuse , check other fuses for signs of overheating,,

It's melted the fuse holder as well baz. I'm going to rewire the whole lot from controller to battery with thicker wire and definitely a decent fuse
