Uniross battery charger - seeking foreign mains adapter

[Lobster]

I have a Uniross Sprint 90 AA battery charger. I use it quite a lot overseas, using a conventional foreign->UK adapter but those things are always a PITA, especially as they are bulky, the pins never grip very well, and the weight of a loaded charger is often enough for them to just fall out.

However the mains plug-in bit on this charger is readily removable, obviously to enable Uniross to sell the same product in many markets - you often see the same thing with wallwarts for mobile phones etc these days - mine came with a full complement of adapters which I can swap over in other countries. Unfortunately however the Sprint charger doesn't provide them.

See:

Anyone got any bright ideas as to where I could get hold of a US and European version of the plug-in bit? I tried emailing Uniross - to their credit they actually replied, but were totally unhelpful.

There has to be a better way than buying a whole new unit in the US and just dumping the charger part!

Use a short extension cable to separate the charger from the wall socket.

If you make up the extension cable with a foreign plug and UK socket on, it can replace the conventional adapter and be useful for other things too, especially when hotel bedrooms have one socket in inconvenient places.
