In the modern generation, charge plugs known as "wall warts" are like
coat hangers of the last generation. I've taken to labelling mine with
a sticker and some writing.

The odds of finding similar voltage and plug design is very slight. If
the new device is the same voltage, you can use a charge plug with a
higher available amperage, in most situaitons.



They make multi-tap transformers with a slide-switch
in increments of 1.5 volts, and a set of round
plug-adapters in 3-4 sizes. Those will work for
most things.
