    I am working on a conversion to use a 7.5 volt DC laptop power supply instead of a battery.

    Quick and simple to install. The laptop power supply plugs directly into a connector like this.

    Mount this inside your case, connect the positive and negative wire that would normal go to the battery to this connector, then plug in the power supply like this: I will get the proper part number this evening.

    And you will NEVER need to worry about an uncharged battery.

    FYI… Mercotronic sold a unit as an accessory to do just this… I can post photos of their catalog to corroborate this statement, showing actually voltage and amperage of the unit.

    Just not had time to write the article.

    Respectfully
