I have a powerline universal ac adapter 3-12 volts DC 600/ma.
It uses a switch to go betwen 3-12 volts and has a seriers of little plugin adapters that you change for each voltage setting. for example the 9v plug fits my smart clip.
My question is can I use this to power phones during the TP procedures??
Can I just remove the plug, set the switch to 3 or 4.5 volts then insert leads (with gator clips on the other end) into the 2 holes and then attach the clips to the battery posts on the phone?
If so I see that the phone has 4 posts 2 pos 2 neg I presume?
Can I just clip to 1 of each or do I need to clip both pos and both neg?
I'm working with a V3x btw.
Also I see that the wire from the ac adapter has 2 leads one is all black with writing on it and the other is black with white stripes going down the side. which of those is pos and which is neg?
I'm not much of an electrician so any help is appreciated.
Thank You in advance.
