How big is the AC power adaptor? What voltages does it take?
It’s a small, light rectangular box 1.5 x 2.25 x 5 inches in size, with an AC power cord on one end and the camera power cord (strange custom plug) on the other end. Good news for travellers: it takes 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz which means it ought to work anywhere (if you can fit your plug into that odd wall socket…) It supplies 8.4 V at 1.5 A and charges the camcorder’s battery, IF the camcorder is not on. The charge rate is similar to but slightly slower than the use rate- ie, use the camera for 30 minutes, you’ll charge for 40 minutes to replenish. There is a separate 4x use-rate fast charger and a 12V adaptor sold as accessories. The “info-lithium” battery is 7.2V and lightweight compared with a similar-capacity NiCd.
