I had a kit for a different camera system that I previously owned and it came with a 5amp fuse which I used when mirroring your installation. It blew immediately and I am pretty sure that is why but I wanted to verify that it is save to use a 20amp fuse with this battery as I can not find it in the documentation anywhere.
Side note, your guide is awesome and super appreciated!!
I think I did finally find in some responses that you did use 20amp.

The wiring set up is for charging the battery. The battery then powers the dashcams.
Yes, I used a 20 amp fuse for the Cellink connection. You can also use a 15 amp fuse if you prefer. Just make sure you keep the original 20 amp inline with the 12v accessory circuit. The Cellink draws a reasonable amount of power and needs a fairly beefy fuse to charge the battery and 5 amp would have been too low.
I’m not sure what dashcam you are using. I’m a little surprised it uses such low amperage for the two cameras. You should check that the electrical output from the battery is compatible with your dashcams. I’m sorry, I can’t remember what the output numbers are for the battery, but you should be able to find these figures on the battery or in the literature.
Hope you manage to get your dashcams up and running.
