Charging my Trend Air Shield

i have a Trend Air Shield, not the Pro model, that I have lost my charger. A new charger is about $60.00, which is crazy for what it is. The battery is 3.6 volts and can be removed from the shield. Does anyone have a suggestion? I have seen a replacement charger for the Pro model on YouTube, but the "plug ins" are totally different.

Any help/suggestions will be appreciated.

I have a Trend Air Shield pro and bought a 3.6v charger transformer that had the same plug. I purchased it at Radio Shack several years ago and if I remember correctly it was less that $29. I can even plug it in and charge it while wearing the air-shield.

I've bought several of these over the years when my kids lost the battery adapter to games, toys and whatnot. They come with several different plugs, and are adjustable from something like 1.5 volts to 9 volts. And they're cheap too. Try WallyWorld

If the charger was just a standard wall wart with a barrel plug on the end, you just have to make sure your new charger has the same output voltage and polarity, and outputs at least as many amps as the old charger.

If necessary, you can take any wall transformer with the same DC voltage and at least as many amps as required, snip off the plug, and install the appropriately-sized plug, taking care to get the polarity right.

The polarity, voltage, and amps (or milliamps) should be stamped somewhere on the Airshield, probably near the charging port.

Bill, I never heard of the item of which you speak so I had to Google it.
As already stated, Radio shack should have a "fittzall" charger and probably at a decent price. However at $60 for what you are trying to accomplish, is $60 really too much ?
