Universal USB charger

Juniper Foo | Nov 05, 2007

Even the humble USB charger has gone universal. Makes sense when consumer electronics from music players to portable gaming consoles are getting increasingly portable, but the chargers/adapters remain bricks.

Enter the way of the road warrior--a UBS charger with multi-regional outlet adapters. Distributor Planex says the voltage of the PL-UC20-TR corresponds up to 240V, which makes it possible to jack into most cities' mains to juice up your device via its USB port. Unfortunately, at 1,000mA, this still isn't good enough to ditch that laptop charger.
