Hello,

I have a waterproof mobile telephone. The charger is a micro-USB which is about knackered.
However, because the telephone is waterproof the socket for the USB is recessed into it and protected by a little rubber flap/seal.
Therefore the sticky-out metal bit on the end which goes into the telephone is about twice as long as normal. This is the only cable I have which will fit. Normal sized ones don't go in far enough.
.
When trying to find a new one I'm googleing long USB, large USB, all the synonyms for big I can think of and all I'm getting is normal sized ones with very long cables, not what I'm after.
.
Can anyone point in the right direction please? STW is usually more effective than google...
.
Cheers.

Thanks.
It's an Energizer E500, no-one has ever heard of it and spares are rare...
