I have an AC adapter with 12V 1300 ma output with center pin positive and it fits perfectly in the charging port of the model vec010BD jump starter. If I try to use this adapter to charge the jump starter, will I damage the battery?

Hi and welcome to FixYa, I am Kelly.
You will not damage the battery.. you will destroy your AC Adapter charging system because the Jump start system will draw more amperage than your AC Adapter can provide. The Jump start system will charge at a minimum of 2 amps up to a maximum of 6 amps. Your AC Adapter will only provide 1.3 amps max. I.e it will go up in smoke.

Thanks for choosing FixYa,
Kelly

Need AC power cord for task force model 202754 tire inflator

This a battery jump pack that is used to jump start a car. Some units have an ac adapter built in so you can charge the battery in the jump start pack. My unit has a spot to connect the ac adapter to the jump pack so you can charge the battery in the jump pack. My ac adapter has been lost. I know I have to buy a new ac adapter so I can charge my jump pack, what I do not know is if the input (from the ac adapter) is 120v 60 hz
I understand that the DC output needs to dc12v. I do not understand the milliamps. The battery in the jump box is 12v 10 ah ( what ever that is). I just want a new ac adapter to charge the jump pack with that is not going to damage anything.

What specifications do i use to get a replacement charger for a Peak Charging Adapter . . . . . . . . 120 volt AC (700mA, 12 volt DC Output

Just as your information says ask for a 12 volt 700 ma charger..but seeing that yours is a 450 amp jumper..any 12 volt that fits your ac input will do the job...one more thing if you do not have a charger..just connect it to your battery and run the engine for 20 min or so it will recharge the car battery and you jumper..also you can get a lighter wire with two lighter plugs and charge it through you lighter..good luck

Where can i buy electric 12v adapter

Understanding that you lost your power adapter for the external device you can easily do the following:

1) Check the documentation of the device to confirm it is really 12V DC.
2) Check the amperage specified in the documentation (for example, 1.0 mA) ;
3) Check the polarity (normally indicated in the device, such as positive in the center pin, or otherwise).
4) Check the size of the connector.
5) with all the information at hand go to your local electronic supplier shop (such as RadioShack, or another) and request for a power adapter with those characteristics. Take the device with you to make sure the connector will fit correctly and that the polarity and other information do match

Note: make sure the new adapter has the same capacity (or a little bit higher) than the milliamps (mA) indicated in the documentation or the label at the device.

That's it! You will be rocking!

Good luck!

I lost my GE Ultrasonic 2.1 Speaker power adapter and i need need ones but i dont know what to buy, the voltage it requires..6 or 9 volts?

at most electrical stores you can buy a universal power adaptors with a selection of socents to fit most connections. and which has a selector on it for various voltages settings.
take one of the little connectors and see which one fits. then checking the polarity on your device set the polarity the same when plugging the connector into the power supply cable. adjust voltage as needed.

Warning: when connecting a variable power adaptor alway connect on the lowest voltage setting and work up as too high voltage can distroy your appliance.

E-100 generic AC Adapter?

I doubt you can use 300 mA adapter,because Oly C2100 needs 2000 mA at 6,5V. E100RS construction seems to be very similar.
