We describe here the USB wall charger that ships with the Victor Reader Trek model 513 VRC. Firstly, this wall charger is a common five volt switching power supply. Furthermore, it features a female USB A type power connector that supports a detachable USB cable.  Plus, the US version of the charger sports a standard 120v AC two prong, non polarized plug. The plug has non retractable prongs, as shown next.

Victor Reader Trek USB Wall Charger Physical Description

Also, this lightweight AC adapter had no pilot lamp.  So  you can’t tell at a glance if it’s running or not.  Yes, it may whistle and chatter a little while charging. But these sounds are very quiet, though you can hear them in quiet settings.  No big deal though.  Why?  because when connected to the Trek, and with the Trek powered down, its green lamp blinks to show charging is in progress.
