Vanguard Speedloader MAX 12V Mains Power Adapter

If your MAX lives on a bench rather than in a kit bag, this is the accessory that changes how it works. Plugged into a mains socket, the loader runs continuously - no charge cycle, no swapping packs mid-session, no unit sitting idle because somebody forgot to charge it on Friday.

That matters most in the places the MAX was designed for: rental fleet turnaround, team prep days, safe zones and workshops, where the loader may be running for hours and any downtime is downtime for everyone waiting on magazines.

It is the official Vanguard adapter, plug-and-play with no configuration, delivering stable 12V DC. Note it is built specifically for the MAX and will not power the Speedloader Pro or the Mk2.

Specifications

Good to know before you buy

For the MAX only - it will not run any other Vanguard loader. Use it indoors in a dry environment. If your loader travels to games rather than living on a bench, the included battery is likely all you need.

Frequently asked questions

Will it work with my Pro or Mk2?
No. It is designed specifically for the Speedloader MAX and is not compatible with the Pro, the Mk2 or earlier models.

Do I need it to use the MAX?
No, the MAX includes a battery. The adapter is for continuous fixed-location use where you would rather not depend on charge level at all.

Can I use it outdoors at a site?
It is a mains adapter, so it needs a dry indoor environment and a socket. For outdoor use, run the loader on its battery.

Does it charge the battery?
It powers the loader directly rather than acting as a battery charger. Charge the LiPo separately on a LiPo-capable charger.
