Title: Walmart Wall Wart (Lion)
Post by: eman on April 12, 2005, 11:15:56 AM

I left my charger in a hotel room. Can anyone tell me the voltage and polarity of the Wal Mart Lion battery charger? I believe the charging electronics are in the battery pack and not in the wall wart. Let me know if I am setting myself up for an explosion.

Would it be possible to plug this in directly to a car lighter (checking for polarity of course)? Or would that be pushing it?

Yep, in fact the memorex version of these batteries come with the car plug.

Standard wall wart from my modem worked no problem with the battery. Thanks again.
