Power supply for Liitokala Lii500

Batteries and Chargers Chargers
1

Hello buddies :GRADE: ,
I bought Lii500 charger without the adapter.
The charger on the back side reads 12v 2A Input, and I want to buy an adapter for it.

  1. Is it ok if I buy a regular good quality AC to DC 12v power adapter?
  2. Will it be better if I use 12v- 3A or 5A adapter instead of 2A?

Thank you, see you.

Hi,

  1. Yes, a regular 12V adapter is fine, but you should make sure the DC plug has the right size.
  2. More than 2A? What for? Only waist of money imho.

EDIT: This one is DC5.5x2.1mm

Hello Thomashf,
Thank you for the reply and confirming about the 12V adapter. The cost difference is nothing much, just 2 or 3$ difference.
Thank you for the link. It will take a month for shipping thats why I was trying to catch locally.
More current, because I thought the Charger will be in full use of its capacity. I thought to get 3A because mostly the adapters found around in stores, that read 2A are not 100%. They give 1.7A, 1.5A or even lesser.
Thank you :slight_smile:
See you.

Normally these adapters do deliver their rated amps, but some of them can get hot when charging 4 cells at 1A. By using a higher amp rated adapter does not increase performance but will likely extend it’s life by not running at full capacity. I use a 13.8V 20A power supply to run all my chargers.

I think these adapters are available everywhere, try looking for in your local eBay for quicker delivery.

Agreed, the link was just meant as example and to identify the correct dimensions of the DC plug.

Hallo Will34
Thank you very much for reply. 13.8V with 20A? Thats something new and interesting.
Which means the higher Amp charger will not heat up that much and live longer :slight_smile:
Yes I am trying locally.

Good wishes, see you.

Hi,
It was a coincidence. I didnt notice the pin before. But now I was trying to find out the size of the input plug, and then you replied. Then I checked your link again :sunglasses:
Thanks again.
By the way, your profile photo reminds me of Joerg Sprave from Germany. My favourate slingshot master. :star:
