(OT - but I don't know who to ask) - Android tablet charger

[Mord Behar]

You not only need the proper dimensions but also the correct voltage,
amperage and direction (not sure what to call that last one).
Look on your charger, you'll see a plus-dot-minus sign. That tells you
which part of the pin (inside or outside) is the minus and which is the
plus. You don't want to get that wrong. Voltage and amperage are OK if
you're off by a bit (not sure what a "bit" means, you should probably wait
for a certified electrical engineer to respond).

As for connector size... you could probably get one of those
multi-headed-chargers and one should work...
