I am looking for a 36VDC 3Amp charger for a Battery operated Juicer that my Spouse/Wife bought on TEMU.
..
The seller (and TEMU) seem to ignore request for clarification.
The on-line eManual is nothing but a brochure and states :"Convenient Recharging using the USB-C Charging Port".
..
Even their reviews seem to be fake (because I cannot believe anyone has gotten this juicer to charge with even a 3.3Amp USB-C Charger.
,,,,
Here is the juicer:

...
I found an on-line reference on the Federal Trade Commission Complaints site where they list the Battery as 32-36VDC 6.5Ahr Battery pack. That means a 5VDC 3.2Amp Cell Phone (USB-C) charger will not work at all. Which also explains why after a whole week of charging the juicer still will not work.
..
Can anyone here point me in the direction of a 36VDC 6.9Ahr Wall Wart USB-A charger that I can plug a USB-A to USB-C Charging cable into to see if I can get this piece of (ooops can not say that here - sorry) to charge?

You may need a USB C PD (Power Delivery) charger. A 60 watt (to one USB connector) supplies 20 volts at 3 amps (with proper USB C PD negotiation). A 140 watt USB C PD charger can supply 28 volts at 5 amps using a heavy duty cable.

IF the blender is expecting a USB C PD charger, connecting a non USB C PD power supply of anything greater than 5 volts will release the magic smoke.

I do not believe that juicer uses a 36V battery, it is probably actually 3.6V, which is a single Li ion cell. The specs indicate an 18650 cell. You could not get 10 of them + a motor in that device. It should charge off any USB port. If it does not, it is probably defective.

even a 3.3Amp USB-C Charger
Ahhhh. Did you try to change it with a USB C charger using a USB-C –:USB-C cable? Many devices using a USB-C connector for 5-volt-only operation leave out the required resistors on the CC lines of the USB-C connector. USB-C PD supplies WILL NOT supply any voltage without these resistors.

Try a USB-C to USB-A cable to a USB charger with a USB-A connector. I'll bet it will work.


Sorry, I can't decide if I like "USB-C-PD" with hyphens or "USB C PD" without, so I seem to alternate.
