Kogan Agora Android Tablet USB charger

I have successfully introduced a USB charger to my 10" inch Kogan Agora Android tablet. The tablet comes with only a 240V wall outlet charger. Obviously I wanted a USB charger as well.

I have found a USB charger and can confirm that it works just as you might expect.

My tablet was purchased direct from Kogan on 5 April 2012. I understand Kogan tend to release variants to their Android tablets over time. So individual models may vary depending on purchase date.

USB-A 5v to→ DC plug 1.35mm /3.5mm power adapter cable lead 100cm (1m).
Any USB to DC should work, just make sure the DC connection is 1.35mm/3.5mm. This seems to be the non-standard format so slightly harder to find.

This USB charger works fine. Much more convenient to now be able to charge the tablet from a computer, car, or any USB port.
