Been fixing wall warts and laptop batteries.
I'd normally glue them back together with the

and I waste 90% of it. Every time I try to use it,
the can contents is solid. I spend $4 on a can of
glue to fix a 25-cent wall wart.

So, Is there a glue that works well holding wall
warts back together and has a long shelf life?
I have no idea what type the plastic is.

The trick is to use a large wrench to tighten the PVC cement lid down.
You don't use a lot of gripping force, or it will crush the lid. But, you
use a big wrench so you can get a solid grip on the knurled cap. I've done
this for years, and my PVC cement usually lasts a couple years before drying
out. You WILL need the wrench to get it open the next time, though.
