Looking to see if anyone has cheaply solved the problem with using the 16 V DC KSC-32 charging base in a 12V DC mobile environment.
I have a TK-2180 which I would like to have charging in my fire chief car, but I have only the KSC-32 desktop charger and the 110V AC adapter. The charging base requires 16V DC according to the label.
Apparently, there is a OEM cable to use the base on 12V DC but it lists for $100.00 plus!!!!
I had a set up using a AC/DC inverter in the vehicle, but the battery drain was too much (killed the car battery on several occasions when I forgot to turn it off). Not good when you are trying to respond to a fire.
Can the KSC-32 base accept 12V instead of 16V and still function? Is there any other way to handle this without the expense?
Thanks.
