Can I buy a power supply anwhere?
We've misplaced a power supply on the rare day when we only have one around. I would like to go out and buy something, but nothing official is even for sale, even online. Customer Support says they will open a ticket yadda yadda ya... Can't we just buy something short of a new HoloLens please? Or specs on compatible power supplies?

Most USB power sources will work, but be aware that the one that comes with the unit is a very generous 2.5 amp power supply. If you use something other than the included adapter you may not be able to maintain the charge if you attempt to charge and use it at the same time or it may charge very slowly.

I think most mini-usb power supplies will work. In the Netherlands we had to replace it because of the different wall sockets
