Current protected replacement supplies with separate direct-connect C64/VIC-20 and C128 versions.

On 2026-07-30, Electroware listed the eleventh-revision C64 version at EUR 46.99 and the twelfth-revision C128 version at EUR 52.99, both with dispatch in three to five days. Each has regional mains choices and an optional Adjust and Protect trim of roughly 4.9 to 5.3 V. Buy the direct version for the computer; the C64 model reaches a C128 only through a separate adapter.

Protected regional replacement supplies for the C64, later VIC-20, and C128 in Classic, Modern, and current RetroPower enclosures.

Keelog's current family pages listed regional C64 and C128 supplies on 2026-07-30. Representative EU Classic or Modern products were USD 65.99 or EUR 57.99. Classic measures 86 by 70 by 48 mm; Modern measures 125 by 59 by 42 mm, with black and gray choices. Keelog also identifies RetroPower as the successor enclosure. Match the computer branch, connector, mains voltage, and regional plug rather than selecting by case style alone.

The Tindie page listed PowerUP! 64W PRO V2 at USD 29 on 2026-07-30, but ordering was paused while the seller takes a break through July 31, 2026. Confirm that sales have resumed and that the seller will ship to the destination. The current V2 listing says it is delivered at 5.15 V; the linked Version 1.0 manual instead documents a 5.2 V default and 5.05-5.25 V adjustment range, so follow the instructions supplied with the purchased hardware rather than assuming the older manual's calibration value.
