What I meant was, I don't know how much help I would be with other things... NOT that I would be upset if you asked a non computer question!

I MISPLACED THE CHARGER CORD FOR MY SHARK ROCKET CORDLESS PRO VACUUM AND I JUST BOUGHT IT. THE CHARGERS ON THE SHARK WEBSITE ARE OUT OF STOCK AND BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC THE CHARGERS WILL BE RESTOCKED IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS. CAN I USE ANOTHER BRAND CHARGER?

1900mAh / 21.6V _(link)

Hi there,

Yes, you can use another brand as long as the specs are compatible. Remember to check the replacement charger's output type AC or DC.

A couple notes: If you find a charger that is a volt or so higher, that should be fine. You don't want to go 5 volts higher. You don't want to go any lower with the voltage.

A note on amperage: If you get a charger with marginally lower output, say 1700mah instead of 1900mah, it will just take a bit longer to charge, but no problems will occur. You can go higher on the amperage, which will cause no problems since the device will only draw as much as it needs.

The only guarantee in all of this: You will find the charger you lost... within 24 hours of finding a replacement. :-)

All the best to you in this crazy time.

I agree with your guarantee!
