Mobile Phone Portable Charger

Alex Said:

Travel Adapters etc.

We Answered:

Most chargers these days accept 110-240V. It will be written on the charger itself. You will need a plug adaptor.

Bobbie Said:

what do you think of a battery recharger powered by dance energy alone.?

We Answered:

wow that is interesting...
that's the world i some day want to live in. where we dance to keep our batteries charged. LOL.

Dana Said:

going on holiday.....?

We Answered:

You should be fine as they use the same voltage as us, just a round 2 pin socket for the plug (the same as ones in Spain, France etc.) so you need an adapter that lets you plug a UK plug into their power sockets. They sell them in the airport but I got mine for about 7 quid from Sainsburys which was cheaper.

Douglas Said:

Roughly how much should I get for all this?

We Answered:

If you wanna sell the phones then you would probably get £150.00 for them.

Good Luck

Allen Said:

will this overload my Renault espace, 2ltr diesel ( 93/94 reg ) car electrics or alternator?,?

We Answered:

Yes, you better avoid using it all at the same time - it's a distraction, not an electrical problem. ;-D
Sat nav, mobile and the CD player shouldn't be a problem. An inverter with a 125 VA output (?) draws around 10A at full load, so it all totals to less than 16 A wich is a typical cigarette lighter socket capacity (fuse rating).
The coolbox, depending on the type will draw around 5...8A, so it's either-or with the some of the equipment.
For more accurate results, collect and sum all the amp ratings from the product identification labels on your equipment. To be on the safe side, the total should be around 12...14A for continuous service, otherwise the fuse may overheat and blow after some time.
This kind of load isn't a problem if you drive on open roads, but in stop-and-go driving, wintertime or both it may be. You shouldn't use all equipment with engine off - it takes less than 5 hours to drain a fully charged 72 Ah battery and even less to prevent a cold engine start.
The reverse switch is TYPICALLY on the gearbox and accessible from below. You shouldn't dismantle anything to get to it, or it's poor engineering.
