5.0V or 6.0V for my nano Clone?

Hi,
I've been using my nano clone, like this one for a couple of months. I've sussed out it's a 2G (sold as a 4G, but I got a partial refund), reformatted as 2G, and been using it a lot - so far no problems.

But now I need to charge it from a wall socket.
The two pin adapter that came with it says on it:
Output

C 6.00V +- 5%
DC 200-300mA.

I can't find a three pin UK-type USB adapter for 6.00V.

My question is - can I just use a 5.00V one - there's loads of these, sold as iPod wall chargers?

Thanks in advance for any help!

enoesque73, I can't see that going to a lower output voltage would be a problem, may take a little longer to charge your battery. The other thing you could try is somewhere that sells travel accessories and buying a universal power adapter for the charger. They are usually sold in shops that deal in suitcases, bags and briefcases.

Hi tadad1,
that's the thing - I _did_ try those sorts of shops - but couldn't find an adapter for the two flat pins to another format.

And having read some of the issues in here about dodgy adapters, I'd rather buy a quality one that I'm confident won't blow up!
