The battery charger is just 9VDC, but I hope you have a

battery, since the Mac Portable will not run on the battery charger.
There is no AC adapter. The batteries are lead-acid and tend to
deteriorate over time. Eventually all of these machines will stop
working.
Thanks for the info! Do you know if it's positive on the inside or outside?
(either + -O)- - or - -O)- + ?)
I found a web page that says you can bypass the battery by replacing the 9v
with a battery eliminator and removing both the lead acid batt and its
cover. If I can find a power supply, I'll give it a try (since I think my
battery is hosed.)
