I am replacing my 12v caravan TV with a new Kogan TV.
The old Orion TV had both 12V & 240v power leads. In the Orion manual is says "Approx. 36W at 240V/DC 12V; 10W at 240V standby."). I can't see the Orion power adaptor - it is in the wall somewhere.
The Kogan uses a single 240-12v adaptor which says ("240V Input 50/60Hz, 1.5A; Output 12V-5.0A).
Question - can I use the old Orion 12V lead to power my new Kogan TV or will it blow up? This is my preference because I can plug my new Kogan into the 240v power and it changes it to 12v but if I am camping with no 240 power, I have a problem.
Any advice would be appreciated. As you can swee, I am not an electrical expert!
