Wanted : USB Mains Adapters

Wed, 19/05/2010 - 07:59 — babychaos

Does anyone have a spare USB Mains adapter or 2 I could borrow for June? (basically a 3-pin plug adapter that allows you to plug a USB cable in to charge something)

I thought I had one, but it seems to have gone walkabout, and I'm probably going to need a couple for JOGLE (laptops have been thoroughly un-recommended, as luggage is going to be chucked onto lorries and generally mis-handled)

We have a USB hub that plugs in, is that what you need? If you're willing to come pick it up, you're welcome to borrow it.

I'm not sure they provide

I'm not sure they provide power if they are not getting a signal from the PC (I have one as well, but nothing seems to recieve power unless the PC is also working)

I need it for my Garmin and camera...both of which charge via USB, but I won't have a PC on JOGLE.

Play do a fairly good one, but haven't found anywhere in stock, and with 3 weeks to go don't really want to rely on a re-stock (sods law says it will arrive on the Friday, after I've flown out...)

I shall see if there are any

I shall see if there are any cheapy ones in town, though I think I only need the USB charger (I'm assuming that the power they provide through Scotland will be the same, after all we won't be on mains power, but generators)
