Mike45450 Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Does anyone know of a USB-to-AC adapter I can plug into the wall to charge my A818 which is available to purchase/ship to the UK? I'm sick of having to leave the computer on just to charge it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 LG1_ Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 I would think so, i have the dock and its just a USB connector and you connect the WM-Port cable and it should charge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 PeterG Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 (edited) The BCR-NWU3 dock comes with a power supply orwant something more portable can also use the AC-NWUM50 chargerThink you also can use the old AC-U50A, often cheap if you can find one but only 500mAand don't come with any cable, you use the one you got with the player.Oh and you can find em all on Amazon UK, last one under "Sony AC to USB 5V power Adaptor" Edited March 21, 2008 by PeterG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to charge much faster than via the PC too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
