Sometimes when I try to start my car, specially after an initial start it will not have any power. Randomly after a duration when I key in and turn it will get power and startup fine but this can be anywhere from 3-15minutes.

I recently removed the battery to charge it up because it was dead after I put the battery back I it wouldn't immediately start up, it kept cranking but after a few attempts it was fine. After that point is when I started experiencing the complete and random electricity/power issues.

Could I have blown/damaged a fuse? Is so which? Otherwise what could be causing the random power outages?

Car Analogy

It not a fuse. Once a fuse goes out, its out. Its literary a section of wire that is sized to burn out if too much current goes through it. No wire, no juice. A fuse can't be intermittent.

Now, lets clarify what you mean by randomly no electricity. Like none, zero, no dash lights, no light above mirror, no open door chime, like totally dead no juice? Or more like push start and nothing happens, but otherwise stuff lights up?

Why was the battery dead to begin with? How long was it dead for? Batteries don't always fully recover after being drained, especially if left for longer periods.

Gotcha, and fully dead, no dash lights, none, zero. The car will not have any power.

That's a good question, i'm not entirely sure why the battery died to begin with, I think I might of left a light on or something. It was dead for maybe a night, I took it to an Autozone and had it charged up and they said that my battery was good. When the car does have power and cranks it starts right up no problem.

Car Analogy

What if its:

1 Battery died because left something on

2 Battery cable not reconnected properly after removed for recharge at AutoZone

3 So now you have a new issue, unrelated to 1. Sometimes the cable makes a good enough connection to start car, sometimes its too loose and everything is dead

Check the battery terminal connections and anything else you touched as part of pulling battery for recharge.

I had this issue with my RSX. Next time this happens, wiggle the power and ground of the battery and see if it instantly gives you power. If it does, you may have corroded power/ground wires.
