Correct Charger Base?

[Geologyhound]

I purchased my D2 about a year ago and have just left the charge mains and USB base either plugged into the wall or next to that outlet. I went to charge my detector the other day and found one of my family members had taken the USB base!

 

I vaguely recall the original instructions mentioning all of the markings which needed to be on a proper base to charge XP equipment.  So I have always considered the original base as dedicated for my detector.  Problem is I never paid attention to it after I got it so I don’t remember what it looked like.  

 

Could somebody please post a picture of what their charging base looks like? Also does anyone know whether a standard USB plug-in will work for a charger base for XP equipment?

 

I have attached a picture of the only loose unknown base I have found. I don’t remember it being white and it doesn’t look like the pictures on the XP website. But, I don’t know if all the units are shipped with the black base shown on the XP website.

 

I am just afraid of frying my equipment if I use the wrong charger. So any help is greatly appreciated!

Hey Ghound,

Since you can't charge multiple things with that little block, you might want to look into one of these:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08HN6JK7N

They're only around 30 bucks and they do "smart" charging so you're not always disconnecting stuff if you don't get out a lot.

There is also this configuration, just plug in on a different face:

Wish I could post photos but on Amazon everything is .webp now 🤬

I doubt anyone will "borrow" it 😀

Thanks! Good to know there are some multi charger options and I don’t have to stick with the original base.
