Can someone please answer if I can use this adapter in place of 4 "C" cell batteries in Graco Swing? Will 1.6 Amps be on the higher side?

1.6 is fine, the swing will only use what's needed. I'm sure it should work, I use them on 2 paper towel dispensers

This will work perfectly for that application, I did the exact same thing. the device will have a current draw, which will demand less than 1.6 amps, but the power pack will not "force" current. current is drawn, and current draw is determined by the circuit. You are fine.

If you go this route, I'd check the adapter after about 5-10 minutes of use as even though this adapter is rated at 1.6 amps I wouldn't want a constant high draw on it. 4 C batteries last about 30 hours of use so I assume the draw from the swing is low but you still want to make sure the adapter doesn't melt. If I were doing this, I'd stick the adapter on a pan or something else that in the event the adapter malfunctions you won't burn a rug or something else. It should work though. Make sure of course that you set the polarity correctly.

The AC power adapter is rated at 5 Volts and draws 2 amps. What you see as "batteries" are just contacts for the converter. It works on my S6800 which uses 4 1.5 volt batteries. One thing though....When I used it while doing video, there was a "humming" sound on the audio track because the plug has no ground. The instructions blame this on "radio" interference but, that is "bull". I used a ground adapter on the plug end and it reduced the "hum" quite a lot. If you want to shoot video, use rechargeable batteries (no humming noise) and use the adapter while shooting photos inside and uploading them on your computer.

Yes , the charger will charge batteries between 6v-12v so you will be ok. depending on wich "female connector" you have it should work great. and if it doesn't include the connector you need, you could always run down to your local hobby shop and pick up a adapter .

I also have 6--8 volt batteries but the light kit I have (same as yours) works on 12 VDC. This is the reducer (48 VDC to 12 VDC) I bought for my Club Car. GOLF CART voltage reducer converter 48V to 12V 10A 120W Works great at a reasonable price. I think you will have to copy and paste to reach the site.

Can use a 6V 1000mA AC adapter, but not included. Uses 4 AA alkaline batteries. Batteries last a long time.

2012 Owner's Manual states "Use ONLY with 110-120 Volt AC outlets". Contact info includes website (www.gracobaby.com) for purchase parts , accessories, or warranty information, and US based 800 number: 1-800-345-4109. Perhaps they could tell you if it can be operated with an adapter, on 240 current.

I use mine with the converter. It should be ok to wire it to a 12 VDC battery BUT be sure to put an in-line fuse rated slightly higher than the input current shown on the amplifier label sticker. Car batteries can provide dangerous levels of current to a short circuit.

Can't address the duel battery issue, I've never tried it. As for the lighter adapter, are you serious? If you can get the cord attached without cracking a window, more power to you! ;-)

I did find the directions on how to modify the battery operated swings to the ac adapter. It definately will not look manufacturer quality, however the money you spend in batteries will be worth it. http://russelldad.blogspot.com/http://russelldad.blogspot.com/2007/09/baby-swing-batteries-be-gone.html

I actually bought the adapter so that I would not have to worry about batteries. It was a gift for my grandaughter and I think it was either "C" or "D" type.

I wouldn't use this charger for a battery that size. It would probably take at least 24hrs to charge it. I would look for a charger that's at around a 2-5amp charger. This would be a good alternative for just a little increase in price.... Schumacher XM1-5 1.5 Amp Fully Automatic Power Charger and Maintainer

I see nothing to indicate it would. The unit appears designed to charge standard AA, AAA, C, D (all of which are 1.2v-1.5v) and 9v batteries. Nothing about a 3.6v battery. And so I doubt it. I suppose you could try it, but in my experience using too low a charging voltage will usually not fully charge a battery, and also potentially will shorten it's life.

I never use the ac adapter. I only use the batteries. They last about a week of solid playing.

not sure how many amps you need..... but I would not buy that charger again. I went w/1 that will read batteries and auto shut off. do your self a favor and buy a good charger.

Even the company website doesn't list the amps used. A standard ac/dc adapter should work fine to charge the battery. You can also run it on the charging cord, but it will not charge the battery while doing so

I have used it w/batteries and loved it I haven't tried it w/the adaptor sorry.

Depends on how many batteries you have. Gc2 everyready 6 volt golf cart batteries from Sams Club should be enough. And your location also is a factor.
