First, Look at this photo of a battery charger:

I am missing the cord to the battery charger ( for a nikon digital camera). Can you tell if it's a connection for a typical power cord, a generic one that I might be able to get easily like Radioshack or something? (as opposed to having to get a specialized one through nikon). It is an standard cable. You can get one of those at any electronics store (like as you said RadioShack). You can also use any one from any other battery charger you might have.
i.e. I also lost my power cable for my Olympus digital camera, so I sometimes use the power cable from my Gateway laptop computer or the one from my Canon video camera.
I may also suggest the one in the following link: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index....
Good luck! It is a standard "panasonic" power cord. You can use one from just about any electronic device - radio, cd player, or boombox. Panasonic and Sony both use this type of plug on most home electronics. |
