Cheap 80w AC adapter!

[Dillzio]

Hey all,

I've been looking for a cheap, powerful AC adapter for my B6 charger, this is the one I've finally picked out:

cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280398070957&ssPageName=STRK



My charger will take 18v input max, this unit can output 18v at 4.5 amps, 81 watts of charging power! It also comes with an array of circular plugs, so I think there's a good chance that at least one of them will fit.

I'll post when it arrives after I've tried it out.

I said I'd post when it arrives to say if it's good or not, that was 9 months ago. I guess it slipped my mind

It works really well, highly recommended! Just leave it set to 15v (it's minimum).

Occasionally you can pick up laptop power bricks at PC Recycle or thrift stores for $2-10.
Many of the 12v/5a PS being sold by RC vendors are these units.

BE AWARE of the SPECS and what your charger REQUIRES.

I burned up a charger trying to use an HP 19v/5A PS on a 12v charger. Learn the hard way.....

for people using 12v chargers, find an old computer (the ones that were white when they built them and pee-yellow now, usually found in old people's houses and public schools), take the power supply box out, and viola! 12 volt power supply to hook to your charger.

flydiver - thanks for the tip to watch out for 19v

higgsbosonman - thanks for the laugh. That's the best description of the color of those beasts I've ever heard.
