| 1458516 | 2019-02-24 22:35:00 | I have a Pocket Radio Walkman (SRFS84C discontinued) which I want to use with a set of small Divoom speakers. Have connected the speaker jack to the Walkman and if I connect the usb lead to my computer it works but how can I power the speakers other than via the computer. Is there a gadget which can plug into a wall socket which has a usb connection thing. thanks | bellbird (6169) | ||
| 1458517 | 2019-02-24 22:37:00 | Probably the easiest way to go would be a cheap power bank and run them from that. | CliveM (6007) | ||
| 1458518 | 2019-02-24 23:37:00 | yes. It's called a USB wall adapter. Warehouse sell them for $9. Most $2 shops have them as well. Anywhere really.... |

| 1458520 | 2019-02-24 23:59:00 | Thanks for the replies. My searches keep showing me usb wall adapters which were chargers which I thought would be the wrong thing as I'm not wanting to charge anything. So can I use a phone charger for powering the speakers? | bellbird (6169) | ||

My searches keep showing me usb wall adapters which were chargers which I thought would be the wrong thing as I'm not wanting to charge anything. So can I use a phone charger for powering the speakers? The USB wall adapters are not a charger , they are only a 5v power supply (the charger circuit is built into the phone etc) Some (all ??) of the Divoom speakers have a built in batt , so you would be charging the speaker regardless Plug the speaker in to USB somewhere, let it charge overnight & you should be good to go (probably) |

| 1458522 | 2019-02-25 00:53:00 | Thanks for explaining about adapters/chargers 1101. Speakers are Divoom Iris-02, no built in batteries. I've connected one of my phone chargers/adapters and radio is working. Am in a weird reception area and this little pocket radio works better than other radios I have. | bellbird (6169) | ||
