Input power for the charger can also be supplied through the use of an AC to DC adapter/power supply for convenient charging anywhere an AC outlet is available. We recommend the optional E-flite® AC to 12V DC, . 1.5-Amp Power Supply (EFLC4000). NEVER attempt to power the charger from an AC outlet without the use of a proper AC to DC adapter/power supply. Note: When using the AC to DC adapter/power supply, the charger is protected to prevent damage if the alligator clips touch.
