Guest PT247 Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 can you not buy one from the place you got the charger? And why did you buy a charger with no built in power supply? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Sitting Duck Posted November 5, 2016 Supporters Share Posted November 5, 2016 an old laptop psu in the range of 11v to 18v often they will output 3a to 4.5/5amp however different plug leads both to mains: can be clover, kettle or fig 8 power mains lead the lead to laptop can vary loads too a B6 type I THINK uses a 5.5mm power socket some IBM's Lenovo models use these, others have different plugs and sony's might use a 6.5mm socket plug You can also opt for a universal laptop psu which has different voltage settings and should come with a number of adapters for different laptops but ffs check with common sense it all is correct and polarity etc... some are 19v or 20v which I do not suggest you try try the shop you bought the charger from - should be able to flogg you one for not much more than a tenner i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hangtight Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 If you're confident doing a little soldering one of the best and cheapest ways of getting a bench power supply is to hack an old PC ATX power supply. There are guides online. They have a rock solid output, and that's all I've ever used for the charger for all my RC stuff. Even fitting decent connectors so I could use it for other things I think it cost me about £6 plus a free power supply out of a dead desktop computer.
