Maha Powerex MH-C9000 replacement power adapter

[TheGrave]

Hi,

My MH-C9000 adapter cable is about to die. Not something that cannot be repaired but opening up the power adapter will probably take quite some heating as it seems to be glued. Before I go down this road I want to order a replacement adapter. Anything you guys know that is compatible and easy to obtain (ideally with an EU socket)? Found some second hand stuff on eBay in the US but it will go up to 25USD with shipping and at this price point I'm thinking I might just as well take the leap and buy a brand new MC3000 for 3 times the price as 18650 and 26650 batteries started piling around my (internal charging) flashlights and headlamps Or maybe somebody who managed to open this adapter and nice enough to compile instructions ?

Cheers

any good quality 12V dc >=2A will do the job. Just make sure the plug is the same size!

yup its highly likely that the inside is just normal offline smps circuit like the rest, including the venerable pc atx psu and china hung low fixed 12V smps psu. the old plug can be reused no worry.
