Abstract
A recharging system for portable electronic devices that have specialized recharging ports and accept only specifically shaped connectors. The recharging system includes a plug connector for engaging an external power source. A generic terminal connector is also provided. A wire cord is used to connect the plug connector and the terminal connector. At least one adaptor is provided. Each adaptor has a receptacle and a specialized connector. The receptacle selectively receives and electrically interconnects with the generic terminal connector. The specialized connector on the adaptor selectively engages the portable electronic device, therein electrically interconnecting the portable electronic device to the generic terminal connector. The portable electronic device is then recharged by the flow of electricity through the generic terminal connector.
