Has anyone found a charger that will recharge the Iriver Story?

I usually recharge by connecting to the USB of my computer, but sometimes, when one is reading and the battery goes dead, it would be nice to have a proper charger which usually has a longer thread so one can continue to sit in one's comfortable chair and read whilst recharging.

TIA

On Amazon UK there is a mains charger for £9.99 from macro.supplier (search under mains lead for iriver story)
Also ultimate-mobiles.co.uk sell a car charger (QF1601-40) for £4.99 and a world mains/car charger (QF1601-35) for £9.99

Hi James,
I bought one at my local electronics shop -- it's a plug that goes into a normal electrical outlet socket in the wall, with a detachable USB cable plugged into the back of it, and a transformer built into the body of the plug so its power output is correct for devices that charge by USB. In UK dosh it would have been something like £8 (about $12 Aussie). They also had 1.8, 3 and 5 (!) metre USB cables available separately.

I've got a few things now that charge via USB -- mobile phone, MP3 player, eBook -- and this means I can take the one plug with me and charge 'em all. No computer needed!

Great, Bran. Thanks for the tip. I'm in my local town tomorrow, and I'll check out the electronics stores there.

Good luck, Mr Phelps!

Nope. I take it this refers to an ozzie technical incompetent!

Added after googling: OK, I get it. Thanks for the compliment.

found this only £10 it will give up to 15 hours extra power for many devices.

Thanks. Got one at my local electronic store for a price I'd not like to translate into pounds or dollars!

I only get "Not found" on that link.

But is it claiming that it will get more time out of the same battery? I find that doubtful.

search under " Jumpstart Emergency Charger " or mr google it
i hope that helps
