Hey guys, 

So I just bought a Leica M8.2 and it came with the standard compact charger that shipped with the .2 originally, however the seller stated that the 110-240V does not work but the car charger does. I was wondering if this was fixable or if its a known issue because its a 250USD charger and i'l like to make it work with the wall power i have available.  

 

Thanks,

K.

Probably the cheapest solution would be to get hold of a mains psu that provides a 12v car socket output. (We've got one that came with one of those car fridges.

Well, it is a 150$ charger...

Buy a car battery booster that has a car socket built in.. Then you kill 2 birds with One Stone...  Trawl through the s/hand//used Leica dealers lists.. -> a m a z o n
