Circuit Protection & Batteries

Keeping your home's electrical systems safe and your battery-powered devices running relies on having the right components on hand. At the DIY Hardware Store, our circuit protection and batteries range brings together household and consumer fuses, glass fuses, blade fuses, and standard alkaline batteries - the essentials you reach for when a circuit trips or a device stops working.

Circuit protection components - fuses of the correct rating - are the last line of defence against overloads and short circuits in both fixed wiring and portable appliances. Household fused plugs use 3A or 13A cartridge fuses; older consumer units use glass or ceramic fuses; automotive applications use blade fuses in various formats. Having a selection of the correct ratings to hand means a blown fuse is resolved in minutes.

Batteries are the power source for smoke alarms, remote controls, torches, clocks, and door entry keypads. AA, AAA, 9V, and coin cells are the sizes most commonly needed. Keeping a stock of each size is one of those simple preparations that pays dividends at the worst possible moments.
