Looking for recommendations for some small, preferably resettable, inline fuses/breakers for a battery powered project I have that uses 4x 18650 batteries. Normally I don't bother with fuses on battery powered projects, but these things pack a punch and like to burn things down if they accidentally short :)
What do you folks use for inline fusing in a small space (I have literally got 0.5" x 0.75" x 2.5" of space in which to put said fusing device.) Would prefer not using a plain old glass fuse with soldered leads if there's a more efficient/resettable option. Max voltage is 16Vdc, looking for a max current of 10 to 12A (the high current load (a 450nm laser diode) takes 8A when it's running.) The batteries at short can provide 30+ Amps...
Thanks!

Take a look at blade based automotive fuses. Adafruit does not sell them, but they are small and match the voltage/current ranges you mentioned.
