Today, laptops are almost a necessity, but there is not much you may do with a laptop that has run out of battery. This is where universal laptop chargers come into the picture. A universal laptop charger may be employed to charge laptops of respective brands such as Dell, Lenovo, HP, Acer, Panasonic, IBM and Toshiba. Therefore, you do not have to worry when it comes to carrying a charger compatible with your laptop ever again. The best percentage is that universal laptop chargers may be employed straightaway and don’t require installation of any drivers. Thus, even a technically incompetent person may use it. However, before you buy a universal laptop charger, you will have to check whether the charger is compatible with your laptop or not. This is because most universal chargers are, at best, compatible with 8 brands and not more than that. Other components that you ought to check for compatibility are ease of installation, surge protection, the number of pin connectors, automatic switching of voltage and the need for an AC adapter (depending on your laptop). Make sure that your universal charger has labeled points; otherwise, it may cause a lot of confusion. Let us have a look at a great deal of of the frequent models of universal laptop battery chargers available: • Cables Unlimited 120W Universal AC Laptop Charger: This charger is compatible with models from IBM, Panasonic, Sony, Compaq, HP, Toshiba, Fujitsu, Gateway and Dell.

48 of 49 people found the following review helpful. The Motorola Power Pack is a nice size, 4″ (110mm) long, 2.2″ (55mm) wide and 0.4″ (10mm) thick, and weighs about 2 ounces. That’s a little smaller than an iPhone, and much lighter. It also has a good set of features. Also included are an instruction booklet; a short, blue micro-USB to micro-USB cable; a long standard-USB to micro-USB cable; and a compact wall charger that can handle US or international voltage, and has a micro-USB connector. The cable on the charger is hard-wired, so you can’t use it with other USB cables to charge other devices. (Some of the Apple or Palm wall chargers have a standard USB port and a detachable cable, which makes it much more flexible.) OPTIMIZED FOR MICRO-USB CONNECTIONS: The features that distinguish the Motorola P793 Power Pack from the many other similar power packs is that the Motorola is optimized for devices that use a micro USB connection. The Power Pack comes with a neat little micro-USB cable that wraps around the battery (you can see the bright blue cable in the Amazon photos, above). So Motorola, LG, Samsung, Nokia and BlackBerry, as well as many other devices, will work well with this. It also has a micro-USB input connection, so with the right charging cable, you can use a wall charger, a car charger or your computer to charge this Power Pack. FLEXIBLE FOR USE WITH OTHER USB DEVICES: There’s also a second USB output port with the standard, larger USB A connector. So you can use this Power Pack with a wide range of devices, as long as you have a USB cable with the right connectors. The Motorola Power Pack can charge a lot of phones, headsets and other small devices, including an iPhone. JUST ENOUGH CHARGE FOR SMALLER DEVICES: USB connectors use a standard voltage of 5 volts. But whether the charging capacity of this Power Pack will work for your devices depends on two things: 1) Current. This Motorola puts out 500 milliamps (mA) of current, so it will charge cell phones and iPhones, but it’s not a great choice for something like an iPad or most tablets. (That takes closer to 1000 mA. See Donna Locklin’s review of this product for details on the iPad.) 2) Battery capacity: The battery is rated at 1420 mAh. That’s enough, but just barely. It won’t necessarily charge your device to full capacity. Charging capacity is the area this device fell a little short for me. This Power Pack has a little more capacity than some devices (such as this Duracell at 1150 mAH) and less than others (2000 mAH Duracell Powerhouse, or the Mophie Juice Packs). Given the premium price – about twice the cost of the smaller Duracell, or about the same as the larger one – it would be nice if this Motorola had a larger capacity, even though it would need to be a little thicker and heavier in order to have more capacity. TWO OUTPUT PORTS CAN BE USED SIMULTANEOUSLY: You can use both output charging ports – a micro USB port and a standard USB A port – at one time. Two devices will charge more slowly than one alone, but that might still be useful if you have a phone and a bluetooth headset, or two other devices, that you want to charge. CHARGE YOUR PHONE BEFORE IT DIES: The current from this Power Pack might not be enough to revive a really dead phone, so you may want to connect the phone up to this Power Pack before the battery on the phone is completely dead. CHARGE THE POWER PACK SOMEWHAT CLOSE TO WHEN YOU NEED IT: Don’t count on letting this Power Pack sit charged for months, lithium ion batteries with smart control circuits lose about 5% of their charge each month. OTHER FEATURES: - Auto Shut Off: This Motorola Power Pack has auto shut off after 30 seconds if no device is attached, or if the device is fully charged and not drawing current. - Charge Level Indicator Lights: There are lights to give you a very general idea of how much charge is left in the Power Pack. - You can charge devices while charging the Power Pack itself. - It has a one year warranty. OTHER OPTIONS FOR CHARGER PACKS: If you need much larger capacity and don’t mind a larger size, there are other options. Other options include the Just Mobile Gum Pro 4400 mAh Charger and the New Trent IMP50D 5000mAh Charger if you want something that’s still somewhat compact; or the i.Sound 16,000 mAh Charger if you need lots of backup capacity. Some use AA batteries – something like the Tekkeon Charger may be a better fit for those wanting a large, flexible and inexpensive backup capacity. (Each AA battery typically has 2000-2500 mAH of capacity.) 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. So if you only have one phone/device, or have a spouse/business partner/etc who has the same model phone, this is my recommended strategy. However, when my wife got a different Blackberry model, and I started traveling with a small tablet, we found ourselves with 3 different devices. That’s where I would recommend this universal power pack. It’s slightly smaller than my Blackberry Pearl, weighs about 2 oz, fairly portable (though not as small as a spare battery). It seems to charge up fast (a couple hours) and will charge up any small device that accepts micro or standard USB. Brilliant idea, actually, but not perfect. It will charges my Blackberry from 10% to about 80%, which will last me 3-5 days with moderate use. And it charges my small Archos tablet (it’s about 1/2 the size of an ipad) from 10% to about 60%, which will also last me a couple of days. However, keep in mind, the power pack won’t bring back my tablet if it’s completely dead. Also keep in mind, you’ll still need to have access to a car or wall outlet to recharge your power pack. So again, if you just have one device to keep track of, just keeping a spare adapter & spare battery in your car, purse, or suitcase is probably more effective than keeping track of a brand new, larger, & more expensive device. I gave this device a full charge & just keep it in the glove box for travel. Like any battery, it will lose a little juice this way, so recharge every 3 months or so if this is your strategy. Hope this helps! 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. The first time charge for the portable power pack took approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes. As it was charging, the power pack has four indicator lights that will blink and will stay lit as it increases in charge until it reaches full capacity of 4 indicator lights, which is an added convenience, letting the user know how much reserve power will be on hand for a charge. I ran a couple of tests with some portable devices I had available, here is a list of the results: – iPhone 4: Start of charge had a 22% battery, P793 was able to charge it up to 74% before the P793 ran out of power. – iPhone 3GS: Will charge and charges much quicker than the iPhone 4. Edited 4/29/2011: – iPod Touch 2nd Gen: Will charge but only if the battery is not completely depleted. I found that since the battery was completely depleted, I had to use the my normal means of charging the iPod to get it past dead before the P793 would charge it. This bears to note that this may be the case with other portable devices. – Sony Reader PRS-505: Will NOT charge. – Kindle 3G + Wi-Fi: Will charge with attached microUSB. – Version Wireless MIFI2200: Will charge with attached microUSB. I can see the P793 coming in handy while traveling and for every day use with it’s convenience factor of not needing so many charging cords to be carried around, even though I was disappointed it wouldn’t charge the iPad. Also an added plus is that you can charge the P793 AND charge two attached devices at the same time via the USB and microUSB charging connectors. But I recommend that you try your portable device with the P793 beforehand, to be sure that it will charge your portable device. |
