The main things you need to be careful about are, the voltage must be 12v, amperage can be anything greater than 500 mA. The plug must be the same size both the external barrel and the hole - and if it of the interchangeable type then you must make sure the outer barrel is negative (-).

To set your mind at rest my EE has 5 units that I use to charge it, the one that came with it, 3 that I made and one that is a universal charger with a set of plugs. All of them work without problems.

I'm not sure what Turtlehead is talking about - all concentric plugs have a plastic insulator between the inner and outer conductors.
