Wouldn’t that also mean using the T430 charger for hotel room-charging?

I can’t tell what adaptor specifically you linked to, but without seeing it, am I stuck with the charger for the T430 (or, in a pinch, the charger for my old X230)?

It’s just, that the charger for the Thinkpad Yoga is so nice to pack because it takes up so little room.

Man, I hate that they can’t stick to something. Even if the newer rectangular plug seems a bit more “secure”.

Hi Andre,

I know, it is frustrating how all the providers keep coming up with new adapters. I’m writing this on a T430 which I like but probably wouldn’t want to take on a bicycle tour either.

Here’s what you can do:
1. Use your T430 charger
2. Get one of these Converters on eBay for $5 that goes from your T430 charger to the Yoga / X1 style – http://www.ebay.com/itm/Power-Charger-converter-Cable-Adapter-For-Lenovo-ThinkPad-X1-Carbon-0B47046-/271283416241?_trksid=p2054897.l4276
2. Get this adapter that connects from your T430 to the V60 – http://secure.voltaicsystems.com/cgi-bin/UCEditor?merchantId=VOLTA&ADD=5521-F795609

The reason I am buying a Yoga too, is that it is small and light and easier to carry when bicycle touring than my T430 or worse, my T530.

In any case, I would like to charge the Yoga (or X1 if I had one of those) from the battery, but I would also like to be able to charge the V60 battery from the Thinkpad charger. I am at a loss how to go about this. Will I have to send you my charger and you then chop that one up, or can I perhaps get a cable from somewhere that I can chop up myself?

Sincerely,

Andre
