Aghhh! Enough AA and AAA batteries ALREADY

[MEXICOWANDERER]

I've got battery gizmo this and battery gizmo that. Some I need to have portable. So I am ATTEMPTING to provide rechargeable LiION battery power to them. In 3.7 volt multiple (individual battery) increments.

But 4.0 volt regulated chargers don't grow on trees. They are expensive.

I'd sure like to find either a wall socket charger 1-2 amperes, or an alternative 120 volt AC to 4.0 DC regulated power supply.

THRIFTY CHEAP AFFORDABLE SCROOGE PENNYWISE CHEAPSKATE MAXIMUM DISCOUNT

Also 12 volt to 4.0 volt DC to DC buckers. Most adjust down to 5.0 volts.

Heck, I'd like to find a source or sources for all types of wall chargers, all voltages.

Also I seem to have a hell of a time determining the plug size, OD plus pin size for these power supplies.

Any ideas? Keep in mind where I live por favor. I would have to buy them online or over the phone and have them shipped to the PO Box in the USA.

I've got a nitecore I4 intellicharger which will charge most every size liion battery to 4.2v
As well as nimh and nicad aa and aaa. Even at the same time.

costs about twenty bucks. Accepts 12v or 120v input

Bought two of the Nightcore I4's the other day from B&H photo in NY, $16.75 each. Got here quick. One is for use in the house, one for the Tiger.

I couldn't find a 12V adapter in their listing. Since it has both 12V and 120V female inputs, I went to Radio Shack and bought a pretty nice cigarette lighter plug-in with multiple tips. Yep, one tip fit the I-4.

I'll also shorten one 120V cord to carry in the camper so I'll have a 'dual voltage charger'. I'm in business both in the camper and at home. Thanks for the info.

Didn't know how to make the clicky. Thanks a bunch Mena.

No problem! When you make a new post, click on the button and paste the link in there. You can add text too so that shows instead of the link.

Today's electronic gizmos are surprisingly tolerant of voltage variations. Anything designed for two AAs or AAAs in series would probably be fine with one 3.7 V one.

I have a neat little suitcase weigh scale that I use for weighing propane bottles. Unfortunately the batteries died. Two CR2032 calculator batteries - dollar store replacements don't work. I hooked it up to my variable power supply and noticed it works on the range 5 to 9 volts. And it is fine on a much used 9 volt battery that is down to 6 V no load. I can't find high quality CR2032 batteries in town so I think I will solder that 9 volt to the scale.

Down here if I really really try I can find a nail, bent.

Maybe you could find a scrap Paralax/Magnetek 7300 Converter. Runs at 13.8V and lots of current.

Maybe I should look for affordable 4 volt wall warts. They are hard to find. Very hard. Yes, this site determines la idioma porque desde el origin de servicio del servidor ISP.
