  Some noob question but please clear my mind.
 
 
On the back of RA Plus, it is written DC 15V and the power supply provided has 18V 1A output, so I imagine there is ac dc conversion, something like that, is that correct? Completely lost.

I'm not a specialist in this, please please don't hit me!

 Ouch! Okay..
 
 
 
But if plugging RA Plus to a 15V regulated power supply, would it possibly help it to work "better" ?

  if 15V is the maximum voltage it can take to work at its best..
 
Btw, same question for RA 2.0, it is written 18-24V > using 24V regulated power supply, 24V to sound at its best?
 
 
If somebody can explain me this, I may sleep better tonight. I read to much scientific information and I feel dumb.. It is not that pleasant

Thanks

Hey,
 
I've been using my RA plus with a battery inside, i dont change it out when switching to DC power. No damage.Did you notice anything strange since you mentioned to remove batteries when using DC power. As i understand the RA+ does not charge the batteries anymore, so its safe to leave it inside even when using DC power
 
thanks,
Martin

Couple of quick questions since I have RA+ on order.

I have ordered one with the warp core, so it will not ship with a battery. In the photos on the VE site, it shows a Soshine 9v which has a black label. Think it was 260mA. After a brief search on Ali, I could only find Soshine 9v with white label at 650mA. Does it make any difference? If so, can someone please link the ones the VE use?

I know a couple of RA users on here were recommending the Soshine, as it was 9.6v.

I ordered mine in the link below, but the item is not available any longer.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/2-p...tery-RTU-NiMH-Protected-High/32593178875.html

At the time it was the only store shipping to Sweden. They used PostNL. It's troublesome ordering batteries from AE to the EU. Most shipping services don't allow batteries. And if the store is ignorant of this fact, and use a service that don't allow it, the goods will be returned to the seller.

Then, in all honesty, I think you will have a hard time hearing the difference between a 9,6 and a regular 9 V battery.

Edit this store sell a bettery/charger combo, but they only ship US $57.42 to Sweden via Fedex IE (!)

Thanks. I agree that I'm unlikely to hear any difference. Just thought it might be worthwhile to get these, though had forgotten about shipping problems.

To be honest, I'm more likely to use it with the warp core as a transportable, rather than a portable. If no-one can suggest a reliable source, I'll get something locally.
