Many cell phone car chargers work with the TE. I got mine at Target for US$15. I
don't remember the model but just look for a charger with a plug that will fit
your TE, then check the specs. Anything from 5V to 6V will work fine. While
you're there pick up a travel charger as well (US$10), small, light, folds up
and easier to carry than that wall wart that came with the TE. The TE is both
over voltage and wrong polarity protected so you won't hurt it if you make a
(reasonable-no 110V) mistake.

BTW, for you Z72 owners the cell chargers work on these as well.

You can get a cable for the T|E that has a standard USB
connector on one end and both the T|E mini USB connector and
the T|E power connector on the other end. Then you also
purchase an adapter that fits into the 12 volt socket on the
car and has a standard USB connector on the other end. Now
you can charge your T|E from your car or from your laptop.
