Review on Circuit Breaker Automotive Overload Protection Replacement Parts by Josh Kim

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This is a circuit breaker, not a fuse holder. There is no backup. But it works fine as a circuit breaker

I have this AGM (Advanced Gel Media) battery built in that provides peak current and backup for my electric gate opener. It's powered by a 13.8V 50A switch, which is just idle most of the time, but emits current when the gate driver starts. The danger here is that in the event of a short, the AGM could output hundreds of amps of current and destroy the entire opener and potentially start a fire (confined for sure, but still bad news). So this fits the battery and also acts as a circuit breaker for system maintenance. The connection system is really well thought out to connect thick wire (8 gauge in my case) and provide a large surface area contact for high current. The breaker trips when it should (with a 0.1 ohm load to produce 120 amps of current without arcing. Easy to reset. I have a few other 12V high current applications that I will use them for. Like always purchased at retail no) a free product, no compensation for writing a review If I like it I'll say why, if you don't like it you know it too.
