Charger for a mobility scooter. One charger not working, I opened it up
and as per image below it looks like some kind of fuse has blown.
Text on the board looks like 3A/2500AR.

Can anyone confirm and identify what I would need to replace.
I have limitations on electronic stuff but could probably manage to
solder this part if I can find a replacement.

We might, of course, wonder why it has failed so catastrophically.

Before spending a lot of time sourcing a fuse and doing a repair, I
would be inclined to pop an ammeter with a reasonably high range across
the location. Even cheap DVMs normally have an internal fuse which
should protect them if (say) there is now mains across the two sides.
