American Autowire sells a “lifeline” which is a small circuit breaker that can bypass your main disconnect switch. If you trip the breaker, it auto resets.

I don’t know anything about your ECU but most aftermarket EFI companies want you to run power and ground directly to the battery.
I run FAST and they demand it due to electrical noise.

I suppose a breaker would be better than a fuse.

Another option, which is more involved and costs more, would be to use a battery back up. I saw a guy use one of those mini lithium ion jump starter batteries. He used it primarily for car stereo memory, but ecu memory should be the same. And if your car battery ever dies, this can jump start it. It’ll charge phones or laptops too.

That's great, I think I may run a 20 amp version so I can use the power door locks with the battery disconnect open.
