Universal Power Adapters

Universal power adapters generally convert AC power from wall outlets or 12V DC automotive power into the appropriate DC power used by battery-operated gear such as laptops or cell phones. Universal AC power adapters are capable of working with many different brands and styles of electronics as long as the electric output and available coupling are compatible. Universal adapters are very convenient for those using several different brands of equipment, making them the most versatile choice for powering an assortment of devices. However, some of these adapters are only truly universal for a certain type of gadget, such as most laptops or many cell phones, so be sure to check for compatibility with your electronic devices before purchasing one.
