The super high voltage from the defective regulator in the alternator provided the voltage through the fuse and blew the fuse. The battery, of course, cannot produce high voltage because of the composition of the two different materials in the cells. The number of cells determine the voltage that a charged battery can provide. In this case, the battery was just along for the ride, as it always is
whenever the motor is running and a working alternator is turning.
Hope this helps
Take care,
