Can I use this power supply to connect to an appropriate 19 pin Amphenol connector that attaches to my FR-7X in lieu of the FBC-7 cord? I’d rather use AC power than have to replace $300 battery packs.ABI 24V 3A AC Adapter Power Supply Driver for 24V LED Strip Light 845832011141 | eBay
Simply plug your adapter into the strip light and into a wall socket and enjoy the benefits of long-life LED lighting. For use with 24V LED strip lights. Input: 100-240V (worldwide use), Output: 24V 3A (72W), Non-Dimmable.www.ebay.com
Save the cord from the original . Use the original cord & plug for replacement.
Gary,I’d rather use AC power than have to replace $300 battery packs.
i even took a thick piece of aluminum frame then filed and sculpted it to match the lower 2 inchesHello Gary,
Have you considered this as in my post above: ”you can go from the Molex connector for the batter pack, through the battery cover, to a plug that takes the connector from a power adapter”? The connection to the 24V power adapter will be under the bellows pad
To be honest, I think this approach is simple, and definitely costs much less than the 19 pin Amphanol connector, which was somewhere in the neighborhood of $80 a few years ago when I last checked.
i would keep in mind that 2 things are very important regardingThank you very much for this valuable treasury of information!!! I appreciate it so much!
My first choice preference however is to make up a kind of rig like Jim D. made and sold. That is, a wall outlet plug on one end, 24 volt transformer/power supply in the line,
Thank you! You make a very good case and clearly know what you’re talking about. I think I’ll reconsider based on your input. Much appreciated!Hello Gary,

Wow, that is very enlightening! I never would have known about voltage variation concerns like that. I will be considering your warning and comprehensive rationale very seriously. I bought a used Canon CP200 power supply and I’m wondering if it is just a power supply device or a charger. If just a power supply maybe the voltage is adequately regulated? What are your thoughts on this? Thank you very much!!!there are 20 batteries in the pack, each battery is 1.2 volts by it's nature
that is 24 volts
you might get a higher reading from a Voltmeter just after they have charged,
(without a load)
but the working voltage will be 24 under load and NIMH batteries are stable
now Lithium batteries do have a wider swing on their voltage under load,
which is why they get away with calling a 3 battery pack "12 volts" when it is
actually 3.7 x 3 = 11.1 volt, and will brown out a connected device that is
voltage sensitive rather quickly as it drops to it's natural level, but it can
throw out over 14 volts for awhile
battery stuff can be weird
From what I know, Canon CA-CP200 is a power adapter, not a charger.I bought a used Canon CP200 power supply and I’m wondering if it is just a power supply device or a charger. If just a power supply maybe the voltage is adequately regulated? What are your thoughts on this?
