CF 31 Dock and AC adapter compatability

I have a CF31 ACNAA1M and would like to know if I can use it with my CF 29 vehicle dock CF WEB2732.

Do I need a CF 31 lind adapter for the dock or can I use the lind adapter for the CF 29?

Also does anyone know if a CF 30/29 AC adapter is compatible with the CF 31?
I heard that it is not, but online the CF 30 Adapters say they are compatible with the CF 31, anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance! :)

Lol funny thing is I read that last night and even scowered nbr but I don't remember seeing anything about the ac adapters before. Guess it was past my bed time lol.

In that post you stated all the CF30 ac adapter will work with the CF31. I decided to call panny and the tech stated that the i5 models require a charger with 7 amps vs the 5 amp charger for the CF30 etc.

Is that something I should be worried about? I'm a noob when it comes to the electrical stuff lol.

Thanks

That's a bunch of BS! I bought my CF-31 BRAND NEW, sealed in the box and it came with the 5A charger!

Yours did too if I recall...

The 5A ones won't charge the battery as quickly as the 7A ones, that's all.

All in all, there is nothing to worry. Just don't use the tiny little 2.5A ones with the CF-31. Even the 3.75A "mid-sized" ones work fine with my CF-31...

Thanks

Lmao! I never seem to get the right answer from tech support. Where do they get there info from?? I should have never doubted you Lol.

Panny also told me my dock would not work with a CF-30 and guess what?... Wrong again! It worked wonders.

Anyways, thanks for putting these concerns to rest :)

Reviving an old thread.

Will a desktop dock for a CF-30 work with a CF-31?

Thanks.

I was asking Morgan. Or are you answering for him?

If CF-VEB272A2W is the dock in question, Morgan, then NO, it will NOT work with a 31 as that's NOT a 30 dock, it's a CF-27 dock.

Thanks!
