The Graphite base station calls for a power supply that supplies 12VDC at up to 1.25 Amperes, i.e. 15W (multiply the volts x amps to get the power rating in watts).

📌

Understanding power supply requirements

I figured that a 50W transceiver running on a 12V (-ish) power supply would pull around 4A max, but the specs for this radio show a "maximum current drain" of around 13A.
