A battery fuse is a protective device designed to prevent excessive current from flowing through a battery circuit, which can lead to overheating, damage, or even fire. It acts as a safety mechanism by breaking the circuit if the current exceeds a specified limit.

They can be resettable or non-resettable, depending on the design.
