Pearstone's AC Adapter for Compact Charger has a 4.8' (146 cm) cord that makes it possible to use a Pearstone Compact AC/DC Battery Charger on a desktop or other location away from a wall outlet. Since the Compact Charger features a fold-away plug, in some cases it might be more ideal to keep it on a flat desktop or shelf instead of keeping it plugeed into a hard to reach wall socket.
