Ok - so this is what I was thinking. I thought my breakers were rated
for much more current, but it looks like they are only rated for 5A
(both AC [1] and BATT [2]).
In short - I need a breaker that can handle more current, correct? I
have these breakers at a ton of sites.. can't believe I just noticed
they were only rated for 5A. :( In the meantime, I may need to use an
external charger to get these batteries charged back up.

Other than making sure you have the right size breaker for running load,
that's a C curve breaker. Ideally for things with high inrush like power
supplies and transformers you should prefer a D curve, which have a
higher 100ms trip point at 20xRC. The C curve is 10xRC at 100ms.
