Is it possible to adapt a 1st generation stand to a USB or 12V power source?
I currently have a 1st generation stand with an AC power adaptor and I was wondering if it would be possible to use an adaptor to use a USB power source or even a 12V car port? I'm running the system with a battery pack and the conversion from DC->AC->DC loses about 30% of the power.
Thanks!

Hi @Daniel_Gallant - Thanks for reaching out to us here on the Square Seller Community👋
We don't recommend using a different charger for your Square Stand aside from the one that it came with to avoid any malfunctions or damage. If you happen to need it, your Square Stand and its accessories are covered by a one-year warranty and you can always contact our Support Team for a replacement power adaptor.
I hope this information is helpful but please do let me know if you have any additional questions 🙂

Thanks for your time.
