I got the batteries fully charged and unhooked them. In the process I find one of my 150 amp circuit breakers broken and the contacts rusted. I have breakers at the batteries, both power and ground for my inverter and radios.
On Amazon I'm ready to order replacements but read reviews on several of them. One negative mentioned on a couple of them stated "failed in the closed position" That certainly doesn't provide any protection! Anyway, I looked around for recognized names and found some from Bussmann. Twice the price, but I think it's worth it! Everything I found from Siemans or Square D was for 120/240. If Square D offered 12-42v breakers I would've bought them. It's uncommon to survive an electrical fire in the cab when you're sleeping in the bunk, the plastic smoke overpowers you quickly.
