AC charger and DC (car) chargers are available to Walmart

No I don't work for Walmart but thought those looking for extra chargers for work, travel, etc might like to know.

For the AC charger Walmart carried 2 models. The $18.99 one also has a 5V USB port so you can charge your other devices. Its rated at 1.3A, not sure if it will charge the ipad through USB though. Unfortunately you can't use the adapter and USB port at the same time. The switch allows you to change from 12V down to 3v then to USB charging. The $14.99 model does not have the USB port. However, its only rated to 0.6A so I'm not sure it would work on the PE. (This one I did not buy - but given Walmart's less stringent return policy, returing it shouldnt be a problem)

The 1.3A is the one I have and it works fine.

The DC charger ($14.99) is similar to the 1.3A model including a USB port. I also have that one and it charges the PE just fine. Its rated at 2A (not sure how true) but it can probably charge the ipad too.

This was purcharsed in the Indianapolis, IN area. All these chargers are universal with multiple tips that may work on multiple different types of devices. In addition, the tips have a very tight and snug fit so the risk of loosing it is very low.

Amazon has it for $16.99 right now with FSSS but you have to spend $25 unless you have prime, also if it does not work, its a pain to pay shipping to send it back unless the Amazon CS is sympathetic.
