Bought a Samsung bespoke Jet vacuum and it comes with a 2nd battery (1st one is charged when the vacuum is in it's clean/store cradle) which can be charged when it is docked in the 'accessory cradle'. Problem is it does not come with a power adapter to charge it.
I tried to use one that charges a Eufy robovac I have - but it didn't work (no lights on the battery when connected) despite it working fine on the Eufy. That tells me that not all of them are the same clearly. I know nothing about this type of thing.
Any experts out there know what type/size of power adapter I need to charge the battery safely. Samsung provide a power adapter with a new battery purchase, but don't with a free battery. They also don't sell the power adapter separate so no joy from them. I'm sure it's rather simple if you know what will work safely.

sorted byImage below indicates Samdung Jet range uses around 26V.
Highly unlikely the Samdung's charging controller will have an inverter to increase 19V to 25V+.
Here's some guesswork based on Jet60 image & quick websearch:
Electrically:
JET 60 charger output = 25.85V DC at 1A; JET 70 & 75 = same V but 1.2A; Bespoke assumed to be similar.
So somewhere around 26V DC at more critically 1A or more should be OK.
Physically:
The DC barrel connector in pic is possibly standard 5.5mm x 2.5(or 2.1)mm but may be smaller;
standard convention would be centre positive.
Generic equiv may be this FBA item at £16.77, selected for its elect spec and multiple size options for barrel connectivity:
amazon.co.uk/dp/…9K/
but could likely drop to around £11 via other electrically-similar options if 5.5 x 2.(x)mm connector size is correct.
If you have faith the Samdung charging design has decent integral regulation and will only request as much current as it needs, you could consider max 3.4A at £17. Sadly this seller and sellers of similar spec supplies cannot decide if 24V or 26V output.
ebay.co.uk/itm…276
If same charger as Jet 70: a seller stated to be a business is shifting the Samdung item for £29 on the bay. Use search string:
It states products with a star next to them may not be included in your region or something similar and the extra charger has a star.
However the Accessory cradle states 30v on bottom does it not ?
I will try my dyson v11 plug in it later and let you know if that works
Most 3rd party sources state V11 DC barrel size of 4.8mm x 1.7mm; Bespoke DC barrel size yet to be confirmed.
in which case I'd be more inclined to spend less (£10) for benefit of more current headroom via a scooter / ebike charger,
random example as previously cited of one of many items same as ebay item 363883921796.
or if in no rush...
somewhat silly £3.84 delivered next month via Aliexpress "first order" with the benefit of additional current overhead:
29.4V DC @ 2A via 5.5mm x 2.1mm barrel
Aliexpress item 32779443057
or about £6.50 if no first order discount, Ali item 1005003890318961
Probably find one for less but I only spent 1 minute performing unrefined search.
Item number cited come up with 'no exact matches found' and google search of the same finds nothing...wrong number? ...anyhow couldn't find it. I done a general search of scooter/ebike chargers and noticed most of them state 42V - I'm sure you will clarify if that is OK? Hate to buy the wrong thing. Any other sound links or item numbers from Ebay as I would prefer to buy from there (speed predominantly)
Your help is much appreciated.

Regarding unrelated 42V charger:
absolutely do not attempt to use any 42V charger.
eu.community.samsung.com/t5/…969
The specs of the charger are - 30V 1.2A AC-DC Adaptor Charger with a 5.5mm x 2.1mm barrel
Mods - if you remove this I would be grateful if you actually tell me specifically how I can inform the community what type of charger is needed to get the product working - multiple people across the Samsung vacuum deals posted here over the weeks are asking
Think I might have found it anyway.
Is it this KT36W300120BS (edited)
possibly accommpanied by smoke.
and if so: any success?
