   Get an outlet strip that has good plug retention; commercial grade and   
   hospital grade   
   sockets are carefully designed for reliable contact force, but with   
   consumer-grade   
   gear, quality is variable.   A three-prong plug from the outlet strip makes   
   good contact with the wall socket, and the outlets in the STRIP, not the wall,    
   determine how well your charger connects.   
      
   If you have a micrometer or calipers, it might also be wise to shop for a    
   new charger with thicker metal prongs.
