External Power Source: Has anyone been able to locate the var-a2 and var-g8 accessories in the U.S.?

I have been on a quest to do the same. I have found a couple of Japanese importers that will find the part and send it to you: www.smartimports.net and www.pricejapan.com. I just used the former to order the VAR-A2. Not cheap, but I was desperate. I found the VAR-G8 at www.pchub.com. Both are ordered, but I have not received them yet, so I cannot comment on the reliability of these sites or whether I got the right part in the end.

I'd just email the company.... Otherwise radio shack has adapters for all voltages etc. :)

You got me looking, but I didn't do any better than you did. I did find a site for the US manufacturer -- and I hope you might let me know if you succeed. http://www.westpropower.com/service-center.iml JHClarke@gmavt.net

Another thought...Google, Bing or even Amazon search for Universal A/C to D/C power cord adapters.

Mine didn't come with any adapters for external power sources but it has a standard jack type so I was easily able to get an adapter at Radio Shack. The adapter I got wasn't the type for a car but those are easily available for that jack type too as far as I know.

Not Directly, there maybe some adapters that can be bought but off hand I don't know where you can get them.

I found one in stock at Walmart it was a universal plug. all different voltages and adapters for the plug. It was $18.88. It was in the camera section.

Tron: Did the cord on the current battery charger fit into the VAR-G8 or did you have to order a different cord separately?

If you've not looked at the "owners manual" for this item please do a google search and find one. The short answer to that question is none, there's not an external power source, it's 12v and powered by the motherboard connection.

I could not get mine to work because I was unable to figure it out. I do not believe tech support fully understood the nature of my issues and could not help me. So, I do not use it. yes it had the U.S. power adapter.

There is a power supply that comes with the device. I was worried about the same thing since it wasn't shown. But it did arrive in the packaging.

You can find out at the manufacturer's website: http://www.globaldenso.com/en/products/aftermarket/plug/search/index.html

Radio Shack or a similar electronics supply business should have the dc 9v. Never know, A super Walmart may also have it by some small miracle. Call first before running around town

Can't say for sure that one is not available or shipped with one to Europe, but mine came with a U.S. only plug.

Unfortunately I no longer have the packaging but I do not remember throwing away any plug adapters, etc. usually found with dual voltage items.
