recommends automobile power supply part number 15110. This power supply can
receive 12-32Vdc/15A max for input power and provides 19Vdc/5A of output power.
Along with the power supply comes cables to be used for connecting the output to the
dock and another cable to be used for plugging into a cigarette lighter for easy
connections.
