The purpose of a fuse is to serve as overcurrent protection. If too much current is on the circuit, it blows and thereby protects whatever is on the line.
If you use too large a fuse, it reduces or eliminates the overcurrent protection. Excess current could zap whatever you have plugged in.
If you use too small a fuse, harmless variations in current could cause the fuse to blow unnecessarily, cutting off power.
Never "overfuse" (put too large a fuse in). Fuses are there for a reason. Always use the proper size (or lower, in a pinch).

Using a fuse larger than what is needed will allow more current to pass thru the circuit. This will build heat and possibly damage the wiring and components. It could also lead to failure of the circuit resulting in, but not limited to, fire. The smaller fuse will not allow the circuit to work at full load, but this is better than having a melt-down. Do not exceed the recomended fuse rating.

A lower amperage fuse will blow out before the safe operating current limit is reached causing unnecessary shut downs. This is safer than using a larger rated fuse.
A higher amperage fuse will not blow out at the safe operating current limit and may cause a fire or damage to equipment. This should never be done.

Ive in no way heard of something like that occurring from a battery being the incorrect length. yet as for the transferring and transmission complications in the initiating that's generic because any time you unplug a battery on a vehicle usualy more recent than 1996 it truly is going to reason the workstation to ought to bypass by a re-study technique with a view to relearn a thanks to right run the engine and shift and stress. This actraly takes some days of normaly utilizing the vehicle even with the undeniable fact that it in problem-free words takes some min for it to run wisely and be driveable usualy. yet think about had a nasty floor or something wasnt quiet positioned on good once you position the battery in in the initiating. If it proceed to take position have it regarded at.

Too small a fuse, it will kep popping
too Large a fuse, may cause damage or even fire

1- the unitblows up.
2- the fuse could blow. No biggie.
