A question about the power connector for FZ-G1. The Panasonic connector that came with the FZ-G1 (for use with 120V power) has two parts to the outside of the “barrel”, but the connector I want to use on the tractor only has one part to the outside barrel.
I have looked inside the FZ-G1 power port and it looks like it has two separate connectors, one for each part (one is pointed to catch in the groove to help hold the connector in place).
I measured the voltage between the two outside portions and the inside of the barrel. The tip portion of the connector is 16.5V and the base portion of the connector has 15.5V, so definitely two different circuits.
Does anyone know why there is a two part barrel for the connector? Will I do any harm in using a one piece connector to the tractors 12V system?
Alot of users are buying the ends off the likes of amazone and connecting to the tractors 12v supply. Me included and works absolutely fine and will even run a simple machine module and relay aswell
Thank you del_boy and cowhound. Glad to hear you haven’t noticed any ill effects from using a single piece outside connector on the tractor. That gives me confidence to use the connector I have for in the tractor.
Using 12V to charge a tablet that requires 15.6V is not a good idea. I understand that when charging the battery the voltage in the tractor is close to 14V but before starting it and when starting the engine such large voltage fluctuations can damage the tablet.
I repaired on the last month few tablets FZ-G1 after using 12V charging. Everyone have the same problem - KBC modules had a short circuit and need to was replacement.
If You think that my post was a SPAM can you moderate them and delete this link - not a problem. Important is to remember taht 12V is not proper voltage to charging this model of tablet.
