so this time of the year is a good time to go dumpster diving around the university. so far our haul includes a TV, a nice stereo, two decent body boards, and..... an electric scooter with charger....
so i'm trying to get the scooter running... it's all there, but needs a fuse replaced. don't mind jumping it for now, but i can't seem to find the fuse... it's a standard 5x20 glass fuse, and it reads "F20A" on its ends. am i correct in reading this as a fast burning 20-amp fuse? does anyone know of a source for these, or have a suggestion for rigging it up? thanks, n |

Yep, I use those fuses on my 1KW Amp in my truck.
Any place which sells high output stereo Amps will have them. Cali, OUT. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |

Shouldn't those be readily available at any FLAPS? Old cars used to use those kind of fuses.
