Replacement cable for t2i charger?

[AlpineSteez]

Hey guys. I got back from filming a wedding and I realized the cable for my t2i battery charger was missing. I still have the main square plastic part, I'm simply missing the cable. Is there any way I could buy a replacement cable instead of buying a whole new charger? Thanks!

I think yes, any cheap cable with the same C7 connector should work; you can buy it in ebay or get one from any other appliance you no longer use: http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=c7...7+cable&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313 I bought a camera in the UK, so it came with their big plug; instead of using a plug adapter (to european plug), I just got a cable from an old VCR; this could be different with US chargers, but I doubt it

just in case, make sure it is C7 by checking here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_60320

Better to use a stand alone charger than plugging in anyway.

I think he's using a stand alone charger, but lost the cable that connects that charger to the mains power; at least that's what I understood, and what I replied to

Alpine - When I had a T2i, I put the cable on the shelf and bought a $3 Apple AC wall adapter instead. It plugged my battery charger straight into the wall, and is so small that I left it plugged into the adapter all the time. Ir took up less space in my camera bag and I was lot less likely to lose it.

I liked it so much that I kept it when I sold the T2i, and now use it with my GH1 charger.

It's Apple white, so it looks a little funny, but it does the job.

If you still want to use a cable, there are lots of AC cables from old consumer devices that will do. You may have one lying around the house. I have a couple from old printers.

Good luck,
