GPI Pro style pop-up breakers are Klixon breakers available from aircraft parts suppliers such as Aircraft Spruce and Peerless Electronics.
The Klixon 7277-2 series breakers are used in GPI Pro sleds, with the final digit indicating amperage rating.
Klixon breakers operate as slow-blow type circuit protectors that tolerate temporary overcurrent for several seconds before tripping.
Klixon breakers may not trip during a direct short circuit across battery terminals, as internal battery protection typically cuts power before the breaker responds.
The slow-blow characteristic of Klixon breakers means they require sustained overload at many times their rated amperage for several seconds to trip.

The actual protection strategy and design intent of these breakers in GPI Pro sleds was not definitively explained in the thread.
Testing was limited to specific battery types and short circuit scenarios.
No confirmation was provided by GPI Pro manufacturer regarding proper application and protection philosophy.
