Does anyone know if using a circuit breaker instead of a inline fuse would cause problems? I am tired of buying fuses at $15 a pop for my battery relocation and found a good deal on these.

What size fuse do you have Java? Does it blow when cranking?

I almost got one of these and might end up installing one anyways just for ease of battery disconnection.

this guy uses's what looks like a normal household circuit breaker, notice however he still uses fuses.

 

As long as they are decent breakers, they should be just as good as fuses, at least in automotive applications. Just be sure to get the correctly sized breaker for the wire you're using.

Improperly sized breakers (too big) will allow excessive current to flow for up to tens of minutes before tripping.
