Im looking for an adapter that can transform a GX 12-3 charger to a KingSong KS18L/KS18XL charging pin. I dont want to buy another whole charger so Im wondering is there any alternate solution for that. I hope you can help me with that. Thank you! Actually I did opposite. Using 84V 3.5A smart charger bought for KS, also for IM. I think, also, factory charger for KS or IM is practically the same. So you can using both vice versa. It is only matter of connectors. You can get Lenovo male connector and GX12-3 male and build very easily reduction from IM to KS. KS is not using central pin in Lenovo connector (fortunately, because it is very thin) but thicker side plates. So you have to get plain Lenovo male connector (without cable) to be able to solder shield as "+" and inner plates as "-".

KS18xl, V8 and the future V11. All 84v so one charger should be enough. I just need three different plugs. Anybody have recommendations for good rapid charger and how to do different plugs?

null Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 The ones with cutoff from 1rad are nice, you can find the same on Ali a bit cheaper if you search for jr-t450. Else for budget non adjustable I have one from Ali under the brand Wate which seem fine. As for soldering I’ll leave the answer to someone else as I have no great technique to come with, but it’s fairly straight forward. For my 12A adjust charger I used a XT60 plug due to high power, but if you stay within 5A you could use the GX16 port type Gotway uses it is very common. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That 1rad charger looks really nice (and I could make an adapter for it) but the weight seems to be 2kg. For me the fast charger will mostly be used on longer trips and the main purpose is to give me more range. Hence, it’ll be always carried in my backpack where weight matters. I’m trying to find a lighter option. I might need to settle for less features and amps. A 3.5A charger from eunicycle.eu (1kg) paired with standard charger (0.5kg) is lighter and also 5A on V11 dual ports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bring it if going far, it’s fast enough to be useful. I also have a 12A (adj) but it is much bigger, not so handy. Also very noisy where the 5A is acceptable.

Not too bad so I ordered it. Now on to finding parts for adapter... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 The ones from 1rad can come with various connectors including inmotion I believe to have seen. Or gotway base + adapter they make. Aliexpress seller is more limited.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll probably find an adapter for gotway’s gx16-4 -> lenovo, but the polarity might be a problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be nice if someone produced that, many of us have same voltage wheels from different manufacturers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlasP Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 (edited) Forgive me if this was already posted (I haven't read this whole thread), but here's a source for an 84v adapter from GX16-4 to KS Lenovo: https://tec-toyz.com/collections/replacement-parts/products/ks18l-84v-4-pin-to-lenovo-adapter Edited May 4, 2020 by AtlasP 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
