Jedi transformer use with waris

Post by JRUTA »

I have a waris charger I would like to use, but do not have the transformer- I DO have a jedi transformer, can I mix them?

If you have the jedi rapid charger power supply it will work fine on the waris rapid charger.

The Waris adaptor is 18 volts, but the Jedi adaptor is only 13.8. I have had customers bring their chargers in because the red light would begin blinking within a few minutes of a bettery being inserted. It turned out they had mixed up their Jedi adaptors with the Waris chargers. I have also seen where it doesn't seem to cause any issues, but it'd be best to use the proper adaptor.

No trees were harmed in the posting of this message...however an extraordinarily large number of electrons were horribly inconvenienced.

ACK. I was told and was able to confirm, that a waris charger with a jedi transformer usually stops charging to early, bringing on the green LED, but the battery has 20% charge or so.
15V are OK for both chargers, when traveling I use a small adjustable switched power supply, always set to 15V, to be used with both chargers.
