As ever, e(vil)bay:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Waterproof-DC-Power-Cable-Set-5-5-2-1mm-/221776614714?hash=item33a2ea953a:g:G0cAAOSwv0tU38Zl#

The magic phrase seems to be: "5.5mm x 2.1mm Waterproof DC Connector"

Cheaper if you can wait for shipping from Hongkong.

Some of mine are 5.5mm x 2.5mm centre - best check if you are only replacing 'one end'.

I just replaced one from a solarstorm that was 2.1mm. Curiously the 2.1mm plug looks bigger than the 2.5mm one, I think because the plug wall is thicker even though the inside diameter is smaller.
