Only in one review: Voltage 12.6 V (12.6 V 1 A charger); Current 1 A (12.6 V 1 A charger); Power 12.6 W (12.6 V 1 A charger); Under load 12.68 V (12.6 V 3 A charger); Price 8.13 $ (12.6 V 3 A charger).

12.6 V 3 A charger: The inexpensive charger works, but its voltage and current are too high, it overheats, and it needs modification.

12.6 V 1 A charger: Unmodified, it overheats and shuts down; reducing the current to 700–750 mA makes it run much cooler.
