Need wall adapter for Wowwee Rovio

Hello,

I require your help regarding a problem I’m encountering.

I recently aquired a Wowwee Rovio secondhand that has all required parts except for the wall adapter for the charging dock.

I know the cable required is an 8V AC/DC adapter, but are there any commercially available ones that would also be compatible with Rovio? Would also like a recommendation for a direct charger for Rovio’s 6V NiMH battery

Thank you so much in advance for your help!

HI @DangerWillRobinson and welcome to our forum.

I guess this one should work:

You can find battery chargers here: Battery Pack Chargers - RobotShop

You could use this one for example: H6AC LiPo LiFe NiMh Battery Charger 50W (US) - RobotShop

The Rovio charging dock requires a fairly large plug, so I don’t think any of those adapters would work. Fortunately, I was able to find a similar product that had an adapter compatible with Rovio (the 6.5 x 4.4 mm) though this barely fit and an even larger adapter would probably work better. For future viewers of this thread, here is the product I used:

I appreciate the response!
