Default Battery switching without tears

I put a power resistor in the circuit to keep the current surge down. I undersized the capacitor so if I mess up on the with rotation I can lose power.. Typically I'll shut off some non-essential equipment to lower the draw if I really don't want a computer reset.

What is the inrush current when you first switch the power on? Must not be enough to blow the fuse, but that'd be something I'd want to O'scope with a current probe.
