Need different Ego battery charger

[OldDragon]

Been having a few problems with my Ego charger staying on.
First problem was with usb cord that the battery screws onto, the led light kept going on and off when the battery was moved a little. Open the adapter and found one of the usb wires from the charger was only being held on by two small wires, rest of the small wires in the cable were frayed and not connected. Cut the wire, trimmed twisted the smaller wires, then re-soldered it back to the board in the usb connector. Now it has a good connection, who ever put it together the first time did a very poor job.
Second problem that I don't have solution for is with the usb plug. It seems that with the larger batteries that the usb end of the plug wants to pull out of the wall adapter. So I guess I'm looking for a charger that can support the weight of the battery when charging. All the charger cables that I can find for the Ego batteries are the same type that use a wall charger with a usb plug in.

Provided the wall charger part of the unit is in good shape Vapor Kings has these for $7.95.

The chargers for these units are notoriously bad - buy yourself a couple of them so you always have a spare on hand.

And don't hang the battery from the charger. Rig it so the battery can lay on a horizontal surface.

and maybe not a pile of old dried newpapers either

Yep, it needs something to lay/hold the heavy battery so it doesn't pull on the usb part. Didn't have any problem with the 650 batteries, only happens with my 900/1000 sized batteries. Like I said, I've done a little looking, but the only chargers I've seen for the ego is the usb type. May have to try glueing it inplace. Thanks for the input.
