What about a power adapter? Can it be used with one?

Yes there is a jack on top for a 6V DC adaptor plug with a positive center contact.

It comes with a power cord and , like K. Phillips says, also has a 6 volt adapter plug on top.

As long as the adapter puts out the volts/amps/etc that it requires, and the female plug matches, yes. But it comes with a power cord.

I do not have mine anymore but I do remember a power cord for it . I think it can run off 120 volts through a transformer .

For me a power adapter takes the 'portable' out of portable. I have rechargeable batteries and don't worry about it. I take extra batteries when I travel, no big deal.

The only issue would be if your using equipment that uses a lot of power like a power tool. A low voltage adapter will be fine.

12V should be more than enough. I believe the power adapter I used was only 3.4V (or at least not more than 5V), and it worked perfectly.

It will work just fine. The only thing to concern oneself with when purchasing a power adapter is the Wattage. (That and 'will the plug fit'.) Most laptop power adapters are specific to brand, not model - unless there is a change post-production. I've not had an issue with the one that I purchased.

Yes, you can. Just set the battery output voltage at 19V. Use connector # 27 if your power adapter has 7.4x5.0mm connector. Use connector #32 if your power adapter has a smaller 4.5x2.8mm connector. Both connectors are included with the battery package. Best regards. BiXNet

Hi Natalie, the product doesn't have a power adapter included. It has to be purchased separately. This is also indicated in the manual that came with it.

If power adaptor is an issue you can get by without using it. It takes the computer's internal 4 pin molex connector which is a day saver.

Yes...I believe so but be aware that the adapter only has one plug and limited capacity...for example you can't use an extension cord.

Theoretically one can use an adapter, there is a plug. However my new unit will not play with one. Very disappointing.

Actually the manual does mention that an external power adapter is available if the attached device needs more power than the ExpressCard can supply. It's on page 2. Frankly, it seems to me, the vast majority of people will be better served by running the supplied USB 3.0 cable from the card to a powered USB 3.0 hub. This avoids any power issues in the first place.

a good question - these seem cool > QVS PA-1P Single-Port Power Adapter with On/Off Switch < Search that on Amazon, they're about $5

I was not aware that you could use an adapter, but apparently you can. I now see that there is a little round plug for it. However, from Joe Lee's comments, I would be sure to use the correct one.

I bought a power adapter. I figured it was a better way to go than to use battaries.

Dont use anything unless you know for a fact it will work with the power supply youre using.

No. The power adapter is only needed if the devices connected to it require more power than the port on the computer can provide.
