Hi can anybody tell me what adapter I can use 50w charger

in the spec they have mentioned 10 -18 v dc adapter.  But what about amps.  I found different amps in different dc adapter.

For such chargers you can use 1.5A(if you are charging at <1C) to 8A   :hatsoff:
Avoid getting a 18v or 17v supply as the charger might get hot!

This was the one which I brought. But it was mentioned as AC adapter  ???? it should be DC adapter. right ?


Himadri Roy

Even mine came with a crap sticker....yes it should be DC.
To be on the safer side stick in a multimeter and check the voltage by keeping it on dc voltage selection...if the voltage is near about 12V its a DC if the figure is 0V its AC.....most probably its a silly chinese mistake :giggle:

EDIT:AC oscillates between V+ and V- so in DC mode it should show 0V

It may even show twice the DC voltage too!  :hatsoff:

'AC adapter' that doesn't  matter, clearly written output is 12v 5A(and the polarity is inner positive and outer negative) that means this adapter should work.
