The battery protection fuse is there to protect the main battery cable so you should choose a fuse with Ampere rating higher than the maximum possible current of your system and less than the current rating of the cable. It is NOT determined by the battery BMS continuous current rating (this is a characteristic of the BMS not your system).
Class T fuses are the gold standard for use with LiFePO4 batteries and are recommended for all Roamer 48V batteries as well as large 12V and 24V banks made up of multiple linked batteries.
The battery protection fuse needs to allow for short term peak loads especially if you are running an inverter (which can usually draw up to 2x the continuous power rating for 10 seconds). If you are using a higher voltage battery system (48V or more) then you will also need to consider the voltage rating of the fuse.
MEGA fuses are perfect for loads and chargers as they come in a range of Ampere ratings from 60A to 500A, they are common and easy to source due to their use in vehicles and they are relatively cheap. They are not suitable for use as the main battery protection fuse with a LiFePO4 lithium battery however.
In between batteries (unless regulations require) it is not necessary. Fusing is for wiring not so much equipment protection. The bms takes care of the battery as you said. There is a decent product that acts a a rapid disconnect and fusing, look up the mersen fuse disconnec t. There is quite a range of them for different amperages needed.

A possible new idea for using lead acid with lithium using DC …
There would be an SPDT switch so only one DC charger could operate at a time, or they could both be off. I know there would be inefficiencies in the power transfer from the lithium batteries to the AGM battery, but otherwise it seems like a simple and easy way to add lithium batteries to a lead acid battery system and keep things safe.

If you can - put it back together and get it on a known good battery and see if the charge is going up. Watch the voltage AND watch the amperage. A nearly fully charged battery will only draw a few amps. A weak battery will draw much more current. A bad battery may never draw any amps no matter what. Put it back together if you can. Then test it.
