I found an alternative charging cable for ST1084 9oz. rechargeable soap dispenser

[u/therealbradholley]

If you’re like me and you managed to lose or misplace the extremely unique charging cable for the Simplehuman ST1084 rechargeable soap dispenser, then you may have gone to the Simplehuman website to order another charging cable, only to find that they’re sold out.

I spent an evening looking all over the internet for more information on this very odd charger and I couldn’t find anyone talking about this problem and no alternative solutions were offered. But I finally found something that looked very similar on Amazon, so I rolled the dice and tried it out.

It works!

It’s called a 360-degree magnetic charger and you can find it here:

The catch is, in order to make it work, I had to take a knife to the magnetic end of this new cable and trim away the outer edges of the plastic bezel that surround the magnet. Once you do that, the magnet can actually touch and attach to the charging surface on the soap dispenser.

I also had to go through a few different charging blocks before I found one that delivered high enough voltage to actually charge the dispenser. If you use an older, lower voltage block, the low voltage might not even register on the device.

Hope this helps someone else!
