I doubt you'd see enough voltage across an open fuse to light a LED.
A suitable comparator driving a LED would be more likely to work

Wouldn't you typically have enough voltage to light a 12V bulb?

I would imagine a 12V bulb may have a hint of a glow if it has 1V across it!

thinks again Ah, because we are talking about several packs in
parallel here (so it would therefore only be the difference between
the offline battery and the others).

exactly. Under some conditions it might glow very dimly, but it would
make a terrible blown fuse indicator at best.


Another reason not to run batteries in parallel then. ;-)
