What is the voltage and current?

 

[quest450]

Pretty much any 300W Pure Sine Wave portable power station will work
I’ve been using WattFun for couple of years with no issues at all it will last at least two days at the range throwing powder and seating bullets with my AMP press

I know the power supply output is 12V, not sure what the acceptable tolerance is. You may be able to hook it directly to a 12V battery. If you are a Milwaukee guy, I would get the M18 top off. It's a 120V Inverter that goes on M18 batteries. Rated for 175W which should be plenty.

I suppose you plug the scale into these with something other than the 110 two prong plug?

You would plug the wall wart into the top off

As many of those m18 batteries that I have around, I will definitely have to get one of these just for my wife’s phone. I see her in some odd places trying to get a charge while using it. lol.

They come in handy. FYI, if you don't need the 120V output, they have one that is USB output only and is a bit cheaper. Part# 49-24-2371.

I know you probably know this, but before you 'hook 'er up' make darned sure you note the polarity of the power input to the A&D.

Quest450 I like your plexi box for the scale and powder dispensing. Something you built or can buy?

Can the above be bought as a kit?

Bart Sauter @BartsBullets sells "Bart's Garage" I believe he makes one for V4 too

Don’t see it as a kit. Here it would be as ordered separately.https://www.northerntool.com/produc...ne-battery-and-charger-model-48-59-1850-62597https://www.northerntool.com/search?s=m18+top+off
Promo code 288485 is good for $5 off.
Looks like you can get this grinder for free with the purchase of the battery kit above.https://www.northerntool.com/produc...iameter-4-5-in-volts-18-model-2686-20-5344321

This is from the A&D website;

• Alternative Power Sources:
  While not recommended, some users have successfully powered the FX-120i using 12V AGM batteries.
  
  If there is sufficient interest I will figure out a Plug-N-Play kit like I did for the Chargemaster.

If you search the term Jackery on the forum you’ll see a couple threads on power stations, and suggestions, power requirements for loading at the range. A few run the jackery power stations which is why it’s an easy search term.

Some are bigger than you need but they come in handy for other things as well.

The same AGM battery that many people use to power the 12 volt Chargemaster works. However, one important difference is the polarity.. In other words, the Negative and Positive power cord is reversed. The cord can be purchased that does that, but you do need to keep track of which cord is which.

I bought this one from Amazon to power my Chargemaster, and my Fx120i at the range.
NOTE : The connector to the scale is DIFFERENT POLARITY for these two scales. I made up two cables and marked them with the scale names. Look at the wall plug power supply that came with each scale, it has the polarity pictured on it.
