Just need some help figuring out the power supplies to some second hand Echotech mp40s I got. But have two different power supplies. Anyone know if these will work on the controllers I have? Ones 36v output. Other is 24v output. One controller says 32v but other dosent say anything but both are same model number. Don't mind buying new power supplies if I need to but don't Wana pay Echotech price of $60 each. When I can get same ratings for $30 elsewhere. Any ideas?


Echotech tech support was no help ‍♂️

Why not just buy the correct power supplies from Ecotech?
one cause its 'just' a power supply i know some are made better to last but that seems to be a common thing to go bad on the MP40s and ppl have to replace them and if i could have found the correct voltage i could have gotten both power supplies quicker from another vendor and saved 50% of my money. i went ahead and bit the bullet and now i wish i hadent still dont even have shippping information....

Thanks!

I did finally get straight answer from Ecotech and all their QuietDrive mp40 series are 32v ~1.875a

So I wonder if you have an older model?
Hey, im needing to change my power supply now aswell, just wondering how you went with the aftermarket one

Also if you could post a pic of the spec would be great
