The present invention provides a multi-link fuse capable of charging a battery with a configuration simpler than a conventional configuration, and a method for charging a battery by using the multi-link fuse. A multi-link fuse H includes a bus bar body that includes an input terminal, a plurality of external terminals, and a fusion portion provided between the input terminal and the external terminal, and a housing body that covers the bus bar body. The multi-link fuse H includes an extension bus bar for charging a battery by connecting a charging connection terminal. The extension bus bar includes an input extension terminal that overlaps the input terminal and an outer extension portion that extends outward from the bus bar body and connects the charging connection terminal. Both the extension bus bar and the bus bar body are fixed to the housing body in a state where the input extension terminal of the extension bus bar overlaps the input terminal.

In a power supply control device, a switching device turns a main switch on or off to control supply of power via the main switch. When a battery supplies power to the switching device, a fuse is disposed in a first current path of an output current output from the switching device. A diode is disposed in a second current path of the output current different from the first current path. If a current flowing through the fuse increases to or above a first threshold, the fuse blows. If a current flowing through the diode increases to or above a second threshold, the diode blows.
