Default No electrical power to 2002 Springer FXSTS

Occasionally my bike trips a circuit breaker when I'm trying to start it and the breaker fails to reset without removing the seat to tap around or pushing it to pop the clutch to bring it back to life.
I would like to replace the breaker with a 50 amp maxi-fuse. Can someone tell me exactly where the breaker is located and maybe a picture of what it looks like? Is it the Deutsch DT04-4P?

While trouble shooting the to circuit breaker tripping, I notice a spark at the battery terminals each time. The battery container is metal and the battery had wedge itself close enough to cause contact with the side terminals. I removed the battery, covered the battery container area with electric tape and have been riding happily ever after so far;~)
