I don't know exactly, but I would expect the junior to run about 500 mA and the
full size tender to run maybe an amp and a half peak.

Tailor it to the application. Figure the wattage and do the math, or measure
the
actual current the item draws, add 10% and that's the fuse size you want.
Actually, you can run a bit higher, since the only real reason the fuse is
there is
for a major short or ground, wherin the amperage would be a lot higher than
that.

Pretty standard, two prong. The one of the bike has the ground exposed and the
hot lead shielded. Hit Napa or equivalent, I thinks even some motorcycle
aftermarket
suppliers carry them, as well as HD.
Enjoy the ride!
