Larger batteries should not blow fuses. But you can always check, right?

Have your battery and alternator load tested at a battery store or Autozone.

Yea I tried to jump start it with one of my friends portable jump starter but the moment I turned it on I saw the battery drain instantly so I'm assuming somewhere is draining the battery but idk I'm just assuming from my knowledge and what I did
