This is the ACR 12-volt adapter that allows you to connect the fast charger of the SR203 handheld VHF radio to the onboard power system instead of mains power. Useful for vessels without an inverter or shore power.
Charge your VHF radio directly from the onboard power system
With this 12-volt adapter, you can connect the ACR SR203 fast charger to the onboard power system instead of to mains power. Convenient for vessels without an inverter, and for ships that are not always docked at the shore.
In practice, this means your VHF radio will also charge while you are underway. A device that is always fully charged is used more often, and a device you use more often is one you know how to operate when it counts.
Why choose the 12-volt SR203 adapter?
Direct to the onboard power system: no inverter or shore power needed
Charging while underway: the VHF radio stays charged even at sea
Original ACR part: made for the SR203 fast charger
Available separately: as an addition to an existing charging setup
Who is this product for?
Intended for anyone with an ACR SR203 who wants to charge on board without shore power. This applies just as much to small open boats as it does to larger yachts and work vessels, and for ships that are underway for long periods at a time.
What are the benefits?
Always a fully charged VHF radio: even without shore power or an inverter
Less dependent on the shore: charging simply happens on board
Simple addition: works with the existing fast charger
Original part: the correct voltage and connection
