Hi Howard,

The Tenergy charger isn't an AC adapter. It is designed specifically to charge the Tenergy pack used with the KX2. As a charger, its output runs constant current initially, then it switches to a constant voltage for the final charge push. This type of charger should NOT be used with a KX2 because of the constant current output.

The best type of mains-powered for the KX2 to use is an AC adapter, rated 3A or higher. I found that Triad makes a good set of them, and they're available at retailers like Digikey and Mouser. Others on this list have also tested various adapters for RFI, etc. (and DC power quality) and you might check the archives for that info.

73!

With a change of din plug, can the Tenergy charger for the KX2 be used to
power the KX2 to full power. I would like to limit what devices I travel
with.
