Lacuna Sat Meter... battery help

Hi,

I have just got hold of a Lacuna sat meter, from a mate... however I was told I would need a new battery, which I have now bought from "...superstore". I can not seem to find the battery charger.

I have found (in my bag of wires etc) a Fixed Voltage Regulated Mains Adapter (12V DC 400mA) with several output plugs.... assuming the plug fits into the meter, will this charger be OK to use with Lacuna, as I see on their instructions it says only use the official charger..... but the online store does not stock them!!!

I don't want to destroy the new battery, before it's first use.

Thanks,
UKCamaroSS

Hi,

Thank you very much for the heads up!!!

Yes, please let me know what the battery charger says, as I've no idea where to get the correct one from.
