Is the center tap negative or positive on the charger for the PEAK 700?
Their manual lacks detail for the charging apparatus…. it could be 24 volts ac, it could be 12 volts dc center tap negative, it could be 15 volts center tap positive… It could be anything!
I expect to see a polarity, voltage, and current rating however we see none. Also we do not know what the circuitry is inside this. Can’t make assumptions there. Most likely they have a buffer to control impedance and some circuitry for usb etc etc... You don’t know the design or whats going on internally to the device. Can you specify with 100% certainty? No, you can’t. Not without details.

You will need the following information:

To determine a compatible charging unit, you will need the following information:
1) specified center tap polarity ( positive or negative).
2) voltage ( ie 12 volts 24 volts etc etc)
3) specified current ( i.e. 400 mA)
+
+
5) the size of the plug (i.e 2.1 mm)

A part number would be great!
Just guessing on the polarity is a roll of the dice. Don’t gamble. Get the facts! It may have preventive circuitry to avoid damaging the unit if you use the wrong polarity but you don’t know . Until you find the mfg specs it’s risky to just plug it in. You might wreck it. Is that an acceptable risk? No it isn’t, not for me .
I have an email into the distributor and will update based on their feedback/findings.
