Forrest Posted August 25 Author Share Posted August 25 Answering my own question: For portable Lynx power, it appears a USB to 9V/12V converter plugged into a USB rechargeable battery pack is the best solution. On eBay, there are many choices for a USB 9V/12V 1 amp converter with a 3.5 mm 1.35mm, center positive connector for $8-$12 dollars such as https://www.ebay.com/itm/355931433835?_nkw=usb+to+9v+converter&itmmeta=01J65967N2NG00N0BEVM39S4ZE&hash=item52df2aab6b:g:EBsAAOSwQSZmrE4J&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKlRA1a9m0DGY77nGfRfmA3KrFKDgiZmQBhnDY5m3%2FLxZwUw7b7ewTKMPJFkgBveURb6pbuh06KQh6O7sMorQYCyOrG%2F8PbQYzkSVB%2BLbJN6k%2F6WFC3mMnSenpeXT9b%2BOX8bnZQlJydAzE85NqiEnl399A1tmNm%2Fa2ZcxFXNJ0cQ9t2Du9gpEv%2F9IO35Gu4e3ZBxVu%2B8teKrILyJlSH41GqFpeJL40X9QU1IGPPYAgnw6hQQEQ9krAO6RL2S5jWp3ShtQ8hWVZr%2BrM6jMjQAUQwPe15iaN5PrO6C69hYWPzE2g%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABFBMzvqYqbFk Has anyone used this setup?

Nop90 Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 I use a powerbank with a voltage buster, I tried several of them, 9v is fine, also 7.5v, but I prefer 6v so if the lynx power circuit fails there are less probability to fry the chips. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Songbird Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 We carry a USB to Lynx power cable. It works great with either a wall adapter or a portable power bank. I've found a 10,000 mAh will last you all day with the Lynx. https://songbird-productions.com/product/atari-lynx-usb-power-adapter/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
