The battery pack kits sold by W4RT Electronics have a little circuit board
that has small PC board based fuses on it.  It also allows  you to hook a
rapid charger up through a connection in the battery compartment door (they
give you a new door).

I know these fuses work as I blew them about a year ago when I hooked up a
rapid charger that was too powerful and supplied too much current!
