You can get wire ended fuses though.

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.

it's a 3A fuse. Whether it'll then work or the replacement blow who knows.
I suspect the latter is more likely.

The replacement almost certainly wont work.

Trying to solder directly to the end caps of a 20mm glass fuse is
difficult, unless the mp of solder has changed a lot.

The current taking the thing out would be quite impressive.
