Hi all,
I got an old yeti 1250 and put in 120ah LEP battery and it mostly works. it was not looked after well by the previous owner, was bit banged up but most seem to work.
The original AC charging adapter was lost and was replaced by a cheaply made alternative, it gets very hot when charging the device.
I want to swap it out for a well made AC charging adapter, finding one with 8mm DC port is a challenge.
Looking at the spec sheet, I will need an AC adapter that does over 16v to charge using the 8mm port.
Old Thinkpad laptop adapters used to have 8mm DC port and they do over 16V, will these work? is my reasoning right or am I going to break something!
If not I have a newer thinkpad adapter that I carry with me and this ebay seller has an adapter that goes from the newer square plug to 8mm DC male plug, I might get this. -

I would greatly appreciate if anyone with more electrical knowledge can offer their feedback.
This device sits in the back of my car most of the time, I was hoping to charge using the car cigarette lighter socket but spec sheet says it needs minimum 16V so I dont think this will work, might need a voltage booster device. Goal Zero sells one but reviews are poor, it also heats up.
If anyone is charging using their car alternater, can you please share the details.
Thanks
Yudi
