<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>David, my AC/adapter weighs in at just =
under 120
grams. I have a 3765 ipac that I still haven't used much. A =
friend
bought a charger for his for about 30 dollars if I remember =
right.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Being cheap, I went to a surplus store =
and found
one for $7.95.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The charger that comes with the unit =
puts out 5
volts at up to 2 amps. The one I found puts out 5 volts at 1.6 =
amps.
That's enough. It might take longer to fully charge if the batt =
was really
low.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It can plug into anything from 100 =
volts to 240
volts.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>You need to make sure the plug is the =
right
polarity. The one I found is Backpack bantam model
AUA-05-1600. I'm going to keep my eyes open for any more I can
find.</FONT></DIV>
