Does anyone know which Power Adapter is utilized by the D RTK-2 ground station? I have the Power Adapter Cable...but the $57.00 U.S.dollar cable came without the actual Power Adapter. Go figure...

You can use the power brick used to charge the batteries with an optional (not included with original kit) adapter cable power the D-RTK 2 from an AC outlet. The first image is from the D-RTK User Guide v2.0:



But in the v1.0 User Guide (image 2), it shows an optional (not included)  "Power Adapter II" that plugs directly in to the D-RTK 2:


So I don't know the answer to your question, and don't have my D-RTK 2's in front of me to see what I have. But I'm interested in the answer (I hardly ever use mine, as I generally rely on NTRIP. But I'd still like to know how to power them via AC).

Maybe a mod will come on and give the "official" DJI answer (yeah right).

The optional "Power Adapter II" doesn't seem to exist here on earth. My work-around will be to use the DJI Phantom 4 - Part 9 100W Battery Charger with the "power adaptor cable" (which plugs into the D-RTK 2 port). The D-RTK 2 specs call out Power Consumption @ 12 W ; Power Supply, 16.5 to 58.8VDC.  The DJI Phantom 4 - Part 9 100W Battery Charger puts out 17.8VDC...I hope this works.

It doesn't work w/ the adapter cable and the power brick for charging the WB37 batteries?

My power brick for the WB37 battery charger is a USB-Type C connector. The DJI Phantom 4 - Part 9 100W Battery Charger has a round, barrel connector that will plug into the "Power Adapter Cable", which in turn will plug into the D-RTK 2 round, barrel 4-pin connection.

Ah, I have the older WB37 charger w/ the round barrel connector (My D-RTK 2s are older). Let us know of the P4 charger works!

Sometimes older is better...The vendor that sold me the D-RTK 2 recommended this as a fix. I'll know in a few weeks (+ shipping delays) if this works.

Hi Susan, I have tried for several weeks to find out which Power Adapter to use. I cannot find the "Power Adapter II" that DJI lists as optional equipment. Do you know where I can find this?

LOL @ "not released" after 5 years. Waiting until the P4R reaches EOL and is "no longer supported"?

(BTW it's the earlier 2018 User Guide that shows the "Power Adapter II", not the more recent 2020 one... So I guess in this case oldest is not best)

You are correct...the Power Adapter II never existed! I contacted DJI Support--still waiting on a response. DJI Susan (Administrator) recommends the DJI Phantom 4 Power adapter. I own the M30T (not the Phantom 4) and bought the D-RTK 2 for more precise landings in a forest environment and some minor mapping missions. My old Dell laptop power inverter (in conjunction with the DJI "Power adapter cable") should work just fine.

Sorry for any confusion caused. I noticed that the email support had replied to your request and the part had been shipped to you. Hope you receive it soon.

Yes...I finally got answers from Support--I'm waiting on the power supply and will let you know if it works. Thank you!

DJI sent me a 57 watt power adapter--it works fine.

Thank you for your reply and I am happy to hear that you got it worked now. Apologize again for the confusion caused.

Yay! Does it look like "Power Adapter II"? Or did it turn out to be just a normal P4 adapter?

It doesn't look like the depicted "Power Adapter II". The P4 adapter will work, as well as my older Dell Laptop power adapter. I imagine almost any adapter that outputs between 16.5 and 58.8 VDC and at least 12 Watts will work.

Hi, please, the power supply you received by DJI has the  center (also known as the tip) of the output plug  positive (+)  ?   See the picture...Thanks in advance Giorgio
