Every inline fuse I've bought has works to 30amps. Two I use are the bussman add a fuse from walmart (12 gauge I believe) for under 2 bucks with the big blades, then there's the smaller for mini fuses (30 amps too) with an led...that's a bit more. Still...any bussman fuse should be good.

you can use the one your talkin bout with a bigger fuse. im usin one now with a 20 amp fuse in it now and its held the load so far.

the only reason its only rated for a 10 amp is the size of the wire that comes outta it. it can handle more thou.

dumb question, couldn't you run a dedicated line from the battery, with a heavy duty fuse on it and use the fuse boxx to just trip a relay to turn it on?
