I"m thinking about getting the Triton charger, not so much for my plane, but b/c I've heard you can charge multiple household items with it (like you do, Bob!)
My question is: what kind of attachments are people using? How is it that you can charge a cordless drill, electric razor, cell phone, etc, when they each have their own unique style of charging "base"?

Aligator clips are pretty universal. You use a voltmeter to determine which contact is negative and positive. On some packs (like my camcorder), I use plastic clamps to hold a nail on to the contact point and clip the alligator clips to the nail

on packs with the tiny contact points, use something like a straightened paper clip or a straight pin, held to the contact point with a clothes pin or clamp.

I'd always give RadioShack a try on this one. Take the item you want to charge and think creatively. When the annoying employee comes up and asks if he can help you, say yes and give him a challenge! Just don't believe him if he says they don't have a plug to fit that. Good luck.
