It is a 12v, 1.5 amp wart. It comes with the drive, but if you have a used one or lost yours or whatever, those are the specs.

It's adapter. ...since different countries have different power plugging and hence u can use the product from US in your country. ....it's really good. I use this. ..but it will not convert a to dc or vice versa.

It requires a 4.5 volt 600MA adapter, if you are thinking of getting a universal type.

This might help as to ID'ing the specs. http://yinli.manufacturer.globalsources.com/si/6008809531687/pdtl/AC-DC/1001664702/Adapter.htmUL-certified Adapter with 9V DC, 80mA OutputModel Number: YL-35-090080mA

You buy a AC to DC adapter such as: LEDwholesalers 12 Volt DC Waterpoof LED Power Suppply Driver Transformer with 3-Prong Plug, 30W, 3207

U could use a DC car adapter you would have to hunt for the right size plug and voltage

12v DC Power Supply is needed. This should work fine. 1 X 12V 500mA Power Supply

I ordered two, and they both had an AC/DC adapter. I was pleasantly surprised because they didn't list it in the description.

I would think it would not be a problem, anything that requires a 12 volt dc power supply should work as long as it doesn't require more than 10 amps

AC/DC adapter type: FW7650/09 Input: 100-240v~/ 50-60Hz/ 150mA Output: 9v /550mA

It takes a AC to DC adapter... the input is DC so it depends on the adapter.

I went to local radioshack got the AC-to-DC 500mA Charger Adapter with following tip: Adaptaplug "M" conversion size: O.D.: 5.5mm, I.D.: 2.1mm by Enercell

Any 110V to 5V 500 mA (or more) power adapter will work. The standard adapter has part number KW-998<IC> Try Radio shack.

Dear friend,This price is not include power adapter,you can use dc12v 0.5a for it.

It requires a DC9V-DC12V 250mA. So you have a range of volts to work with, but a set milliamp. Good luck. Have fun.

Amazon sells a number of 6 V AC/DC adapters. The only problem is to find the right size (1.3-2.5 mm) DC plug that fits your device. The best bet is to buy a universal adapter with multiple size DC plugs, such as Hosa Cable ACD477 Universal AC Power Supply.
