Batteries That May Be Used
Normal marine, motorcycle, or automotive 12 volt batteries can vary between 10 and 14 volts, depending on their charge. The tablet is designed to charge only in this range.
There are some Scooters and Mopeds that use a 6 volt battery. This battery is not able to charge an Agapao. Check the label to see if a scooter battery is only 6 volts.
Warning:
If you have a question about this method of charging, please do not use it. Find someone that knows how to do it properly.
Do NOT risk your Agapao Tablet.
