Does anyone know where I can perhaps buy a genuine Huawei wall charger/adapter for a Huawei P9?

My wife misplaced (lost) hers and I thought obtaining a replacement would be a few easy clicks away but apparently not. It's seems almost nobody stocks these things which is quite surprising to me.

Couldn't find anything on takealot, BoB etc. and none of the cell shops I called had any either. :wtf:

I contacted Huawei and they directed me to the Huawei store in Melrose Arch but I live pretty damn far from Melrose Arch.

I don't want a no-name or generic thing.

Any ideas?

The Huawei P9 has quick charging capabilities built in, but the company chose to include a standard 5V2A wall charger with the phone. If you don’t want to wait two hours for your Huawei P9 to fully charge, we recommend picking up a quick charger which can top off the P9’s battery in just over an hour.

See if you can find a quick charger rather.
https://www.amazon.com/Huawei-Charge-Charger-Non-Retail-Packaging/dp/B017LXNRLM/?tag=phandroid-20 is official.

EDIT:
Nearly right! A little analogy may help... Think of Voltage (V) as the diameter of the water tap, Ampage (A) as the speed of the water through the tap and Wattage (W) as how quick you want the bath the taps are filling!

So you can see, a small diameter tap but high water speed will still not fill bath very quickly, neither will a big diameter tap and slow water speed...you need both together. So 9V2A should charge quicker than 5V2A (18W compared to 10W).

As I understand it the P9 will accept charging at 9V and 2A (their Fast Charging) giving max 18W input so a 9V2A charger should give the best results (which is what the P8's fast charger is)...and what the qualcomm quick charge 2.0 (and 3.0) spec can provide. Now i'm not saying the P9 is a qualcomm quick charge phone, it's not, but my QC2.0 and 3.0 car chargers certainly charge my phone quicker than the included mains charger! So i suspect that the car chargers are providing 9V2A to the phone.

Whether this means any 9V2A charger would do......I don't know

so you could also try: http://www.takealot.com/celly-quick-charge-2-0-charger/PLID42267880
So they quick charge 2.0 will not be as fast, but faster than normal.

There's also Tirisano Cellular I think.
