Nitecore Intellicharger v4 input question

Hi I have lost the 120v input for the intellicharger.

But it has 12v input!

So i created (From old external hard drive power supply) a 12 volt, 750miliamp power supply.

is this enough?

12v * 750ma = 9 watts power supply output

4.2v * 750ma*2 = 6.3 watts charging power for 2 cells
4.2v * 375ma*4 = 6.3 watts charging power for 4 cells

this charger has a broken port, and only charges 3 cells max anyway.

seems sufficient?

By “lost the 120v input”, do you mean it no longer works, or you lost the cable?

(LI-ION)

straight from HKJ’s 2014 review. All four bays work on his, so YMMV.

got the same problem,must be the fuse has been fry.
still looking for spare but i can’t find it on my local store :frowning:

A 750mA 12V power supply may be a little bit too small for the charger. Try digging around for a 12V 12A wall wart, you must have some of those in your house.

Good Day ryansoh3,

I think You mean 12V 1.2A wall wart (& not 12V 12A)

Btw, Nitecore specs state Input: AC 100-240V 50/60Hz 10W, DC 12V 10W

Which means that for DC 12V 10W, You need higher than 0.8 Amps (DC Watts=Amps x Voltage).

So a DC 12V 0.9A (or higher Amps) Power Supply will do.

Best Regards,

George

Thanks for the correction George, you are keen indeed. :smiley:

Yup, a 12V 1A or better power supply would do.

drat. thanks for the research guys; i bet i could have done the searching myself… :frowning:

anyway, i need 10 watts, and have 9… of course!

we’ll see… maybe a slow charge…
