Keep your grade control operation running without interruption. The Spectra Precision 66577-99 is the factory OEM charger adapter engineered exclusively for LR20 Series machine control laser receivers. Delivering the precise voltage and amperage specifications required by Spectra Precision, this replacement power supply eliminates the risk of undercharging, overcharging, or damaging the sensitive battery management circuitry inside your LR20 receiver. When a charger fails mid-project, having the right OEM replacement on hand means your dozer or grader is back on grade—not sitting idle.
Overview & Jobsite Applications
The LR20 Series machine receiver is a workhorse on heavy earthmoving and fine grading jobsites, commonly mounted to the mast of motor graders, dozers, scrapers, and excavators working under laser-controlled grade. The 66577-99 charger adapter is the designated power supply for keeping LR20 receiver batteries at full capacity through long shifts and multi-day projects. Whether your crew runs a single machine or a full fleet, maintaining a spare OEM charger prevents costly downtime from a failed or lost power adapter.

Job Applications
Motor Grader Grade Control: Motor graders running laser-controlled grade depend on a fully charged LR20 receiver for accurate cut and fill readings across long road base and subgrade passes. A reliable charger keeps the receiver ready for every shift.
Dozer Earthmoving: Dozers equipped with LR20 receivers on mast brackets require consistent power management. The 66577-99 ensures batteries are properly charged between production cuts, maintaining signal sensitivity on large dirt-moving operations.
Scraper Operations: High-production scraper fleets charging multiple LR20 units overnight benefit from having verified OEM chargers — eliminating guesswork about battery condition at the start of the day.
Fleet Maintenance & Spare Parts Inventory: Equipment managers maintaining a fleet of laser-controlled machines should stock the 66577-99 as a standard spare. A failed charger is a $0 fix compared to the cost of a machine sitting idle on a grading project.
