LX 6 Fuse

[maddogg]

Anyone know where I can get a 2A fuse for a LX6 other than from Marcum?
Would it be alright to use a 3A fuse?

Auto parts store.

you would want to find out why it blew out. i think it will be fine with a 3 amp. maybe your plugging it in backwards, plug the charger onto the battery and then plug in the charger into the wall to avoid the surge to the out put side of the charger.
it's common for the showdown and they bump the fuse up 1 amp also.

I agree with 3300 on needing to figure out what caused it to fail.  If you have a friend with an identical working charger try what 3300 said about plugging the Marcum in first and then to the wall and see what happens.  You should be able to get 3 amp fuses at any good auto parts store like Napa or O'Rielys.  The same place might be able to get 2 amp ordered in as soon as the next day.

It didn't blow I just want a extra fuse as a back up. Thanks for the help.
I tried automotive stores seems like they don't carry an that low of an amperage.

Maybe you have a radio shack store or a marine parts shop.
