What if I want to install a dashcam battery, but the battery only has two cables, ground and power? I would need a higher-rated fuse, but there are none that are ACC controlled. All the fuses rated 20 A or higher are always on and we dont really know if the empty slots fuses can take more then 7.5A or do we?

Hi guys. I’m trying to hardwire a dashcam battery, not just the camera itself. After probing the larger fuses in my fuse box, I found that only fuses 39 to 46 seem to be ACC controlled in my Kamiq. I’m a bit concerned because these fuses are on the lower-rated side for a dashcam battery, which can draw a minimum of 5 to 6 A on the lower setting and probably 10 A or more when switched to the hardwiring position. Since you already mentioned here that the go-to fuse is the rear wiper one, is that also suitable for a dashcam battery? Or should I use one of the empty fuse slots 45 or 46? If so, how can I be sure that the wiring for the empty fuse slots is strong enough to handle 10 A or more?
