I bought a pwer supply from Radio Shack and to tell you the truth
looking back I think it was a waste of money. If I use Ni-CAD's (bad
idea) I get at least two weeks off a set of batteries. Put Alkaline's
in the Zoomer and you'll grow old waiting for them to die. I easily
get 3 months on a set probably a lot longer. If the Zoomer was a pig
with batteries I'd say any power adapter AC or DC would be needed but
thats hardly the case.
