dewcon4414 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 You will find the manual says........ if you use say a computer with a .5v output its going to take 13 hours to charge the battery fully. It also says if it gets to hot it will shut down and may not charge fully. I have one of those USB charger called an anker powerport 4. Its 40w with an output of 2.4v...... but will charge faster. It performs some tests on lith so its more likely to charge, fully charge, and not over heat.... both the battery and connections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW the output is 2.4A (current) not 2 4v (voltage), just so people don't get confused. The USB output voltage spec is 5VDC and the minimum they were talking about in the manual is also amps (0.5 A vice 0.5 v). Not trying to be a smarty pants engineer here, but since you have to supply your own power source, just want people to not get confused on the specs based on reading the posts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem. Most people would figure it out anyway, but just in case. And your power port should be hefty enough to easily charge it at the maximum rate without having a heating problem. Anker makes good USB power charging devices, I have a few myself, and recommend them for Equinox charging and on-the-go battery power banks.

BeachHunter Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 My Amazon Kindle’s usb Charger looks like it may work also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relicmeister Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Didn't want to have any worries so I got a belkin ( top quality) charger. One port , 2.1 amp. 10 watt ( 5 volt) I got single port because I'm not sure if you have 2-port and charge another device at the same time as the equinox, that the amperage is or isn't divided between ports, lengthening the equinox full charge time.probably over-thinking the subject but there you are.

Devil is in the details (specs), I think it varies and you have to dig into the documentation, if available, to be sure on multi port chargers, so at least this way you don’t have to guess. Although a properly sized multi port charger would be convenient for charging the wireless headphones and/or the WM08 module simultaneously.

dewcon4414 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 You are right Chase...... i like the multi charger USB especially for this machine. I just dont like the clutter of stuff plugged in all over the place or waiting to plug in another. Personally i like this idea and we are leaving some of the old school ideas behind. Cant believe a lot of people are complaining about not having a charger........ most have them all over the house..... if not a $20 would do the trick nicely off freebay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bado1 Posted February 8, 2018 Author Share Posted February 8, 2018 I have a bunch of them laying around but didn't have a multi- port charger. Sod-buster had posted a nice looking one. So, when I was at Walmart, I went and checked them out. My wife didn't know that they were made like that (multi port) and wanted to know why we didn't have one! She is very organized and doesn't like stuff plugged in all over the place. So, I picked up a 6 port 5V 12amp charger. It was less than 20 bucks. It will charge quickly at 12amps.
