Thanks for the replies chaps!
Yes providing the plug on the charger is the same size and the connections are the same way round.
By this do you mean the physical size ? Same way round ?, well without me x-ray specs i couldn't tell as the connector is a typical female into the wave unit's male power port

I'm assuming that the polarity is a standard.
So 1Amp would be fine, would lower rated chargers be suitable, such as 500mA or 750mA, or would these reduce the effectiveness of the unit to perform ? I've had a look at maplins, but dear google hasn't so far provided me with a good source other than US based websites. Any leads ?
