After spending time on a fruitless search for a missing wall charger for my obsolete Uniden marine handheld radio I came across an interesting device on Amazon. A multi purpose adjustable charger. Various tips and voltages to satisfy most any battery type/chemistry. What do you all think?

How do you keep track of all those ends? I had one of those years ago, Like most connectors keeping a good connection was the problem and I then had two connections to worry about.

I use a wall strip with the warts plugged in all the time. I made a charge station to slide my charging device into a slot, and feed the wires into the back so they are out of the way. My station has 4 slots for the same number of devices.
 
For the everyday systems, I also have a "charging brick" that has all the common electronics charging cords, Phone, Watch, Handheld HAM radio, etc. But for travelling in the RV, it always seem that I do not to have the "right stuff".
Keeping track of little bits, on the RV I have cases for everything, this would be no different. Many Items I keep in their original packaging if it is well labeled and organized.
 
Maybe you will have better luck with the one you buy, but made in China I don't think so.
 
Found another use for Wall Warts...

One of the Panasonic wireless phone chargers died. Looking at the charger I noted its output was 5V 500 mA. Sounds like a USB charger would work for this unit. A few spliced wires later, I found another use for the dozens of USB charges that are sitting in the electronic spares drawer.
Phone is happily charging away....any USB charging port will do:)

 
Temporary splice to be sure of polarity. Seems to work fine. It is a keeper!

You have to be very organized to remember to change the setting for each device. Knowing me I would be in a hurry and burn something up. Good cocept though.
 
OLD folks communication device used on planet earth. I think you have to be over 50 to know how to use one.:ROFLMAO:
And, if your friend had too many numbers above 6 in their phone number it was faster to just go see them instead of calling 😀
