Thanks a ton. I think I'll return the other 2 I already got, and switch to those non-polarized.

@Hedges, one last thing, just to confirm, there shouldn't be a problem with putting power through the breaker to the battery from the SCC/DC-DC charger/etc? As long as I arrange the battery in the input side of the breaker, correct? Just super paranoid about this. Or would this non-polarized...

You're probably accurate, but that's what the 80a Class-T fuse is for. Hopefully the breaker would trip first, but the 20k AIC at up to 125V DC.

@Hedges Thanks for all the recommendations. This is for a small trailer battery/solar setup. 1 (32a) between the ground-mount solar (for long duration, 2 old house panels, ~52v Vcc, 215W nominal, 2 total, either parallel or serial, not sure yet) through a Victron 150/45 MPPT. For shorter term...

What I was having trouble realizing, for a bit, was that it was really "straight through" on either side, I saw pictures with - + and then + - on the bottom, which was confusing to me. The breakers are just like pretty much all the rest of the pictures I've seen here,

Finally, the light bulb goes on! Thanks! Hm.. That's a fair point. Probably would only ever be me, and I do have a higher rated Class-T fuse for at the battery as a juuuust in case. But I'll have to think about it more, you make a good point.

Hope it's OK to resurrect this thread, I'm also facing a bit of confusion with these DC circuit breakers. They're basically straight-through if I consider it to be a "straight through" continuous wire for pos/neg to from the Source (higher potential) to the Load (lower potential). So assuming...

I presume you're talking about a tow trailer? AFAIK you need to have the 7-pin tow connector WITH the AUX connected to allow for the extra 12v from the TV to the trailer. I would get a DC-DC isolating charger, and most new vehicles have something called a smart alternator (new term to me), so a...

So I'm reasonably familiar with solar, used a couple of old house solar panels with Renology 40a MPPT and some SLA previously, with breakers/etc and everything was great. Now I have a small travel trailer! I'm going to do a ground-mount telescoping frame for flexible solar panels, 2x100W or...
