Inline fuse

[roadrash]

as when the fuse blows I have to get a new holder all the time

this sentance gave me the impression that it was happening on a regular basis, hence my earlier reply.

What about one of these.

i was using a ten amp fuse the wire on the fuse holder came off and touched the other wire that was connected to it i was thinking of an inline fuse holder to make it easier to change if it went again the fuse has been ok for a few years does anyone have a pic of the fuse they use does it have to be a glass one if anyone can recommend a fuse holder and fuse and have a pic or link to one would be very much appreciated

You can use whatever style of fuse holder you like, but be sure to ensure the fuse holder itself will handle the current, and maybe upgrade the 10A fuse to 15A as 10A may be too borderline.

would that work tho with it being a 36volt battery

thank you, you dont have a link to one do you and could you use a fuse that goes into a normal plug or does it have to be the glass type

I don't know what would be practical in your case, if you are able to crimp cables you can purchase a moulded ready made automotive fuse holder complete with leads suitable for 30A or more and simply crimp the fuse holder in place of the old one.

Or something similar to that.

The voltage could be an issue, I see its reset fuse

Here's a cheap gizmo.....

The W54 Series thermal circuit breakers come at different current ratings and cost about the same as half a pint of beer. Here's a link.

OK, you'll have to keep the weather out but that's not too difficult. Stick it in a very small box with a cable gland.

I think the reason that Lithium Ion batteries use an internal fuse is if the wire leading to an external one shorted out the batteries tend to explode.

Still finding it a bit hard to work it out lol the fuse goes between the ignition and the battery the battery is 36v the motor is 250 watts so the amps are 6.9

My fuse is in the battery (see photo page one)

The 250W rating is max continuous/sustained output, typically the peak output will be a lot higher

can you suggest anything

What about using this as a temporary measure until I find something
