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.

Is it just me, or does that look like it's been bodged and there should
be a fuseholder on that board with a cartridge fuse?
