I actually called and emailed the manufacturer with no response. I was
going to ask APH to check one they had in inventory but my husband said,
"let's ask blindkid--someone will know." And sure enough, Pat came through.
I've been wondering about how to mark the chargers since our collection has
been growing by leaps and bounds but I wanted David to be in charge of the
chargers and I don't like Dymo tape too much. I've been meaning to label
things with braillables but hadn't done it yet. I guess I should label them
for my convenience right away!
