Passing a Menards store after a doctor check up and got drawn in by some mysterious magnet. Gas station has interior & exterior lights but I need a Menards 4.5 volt power supply to light them   |

Nice. On the 4.5 Volt to power your gas station. I used an old cell phone charger which was 4.5 volts to power my Marque on my Movie Theatre which required 4.5 Volts DC, rather then throw out and it turned useful.

Yep, I've also had good luck using old cellphone chargers (or other USB power sources) instead of the official PS for Menards and other pieces. I've also built my own splitters and extensions, using some spare wire, inexpensive standard male and female connectors from "slow boat" sources, and a bit of soldering. Just be sure you get the polarity right -- easy to tell, since the lights will only work one way!

No chargers laying around so I went to Menards and for $7.99 I got the correct charger with 3 outlets.
