You've spent plenty of money on traveling, whether you are traveling for leisure or for business. You are just bringing your charging head and charging cable but rarely think about bringing a outlet extender. Outlet extender can not only help you to expand your outlet number but also it has a lot of other benefits that will enrich your travel journey. To begin with, let’s first explore where we can use outlet extenders during travel.
Using scenario of Portable Outlet Extenders
1. Charging at the airport
Imagine you are in an overcrowded airport, your phone is about to run out of battery, but you still have a long time to go before you board the plane, you are very anxious, even if you can bear not to use your phone while waiting for boarding, but because you need enough battery to cope with a series of activities you need to do after getting off the plane: contact with the hotel, use taxi apps to take a cab, check in with your loved ones, etc.... You desperately need to charge your cell phone. If you have an outlet extender, because an outlet extender can turn an outlet into a charger with multiple ports, you can negotiate with other people to share the same outlet.
Because outlet extender can charge many electronic devices, it can give you some easily run out of electricity electronic products some time to charge up (such as portable power bank or bluetooth headphones) so that you do not have to worry about dying electronic devices for all the journey!
2. Charging at the hotel
Generally hotels have 5-10 power ports, but many old hotels may only have less than 5 power ports (lack of usb ports), when you are traveling by yourself or with your family or friends, there may be a shortage of sockets.
What's more, the hotel outlet at the bedside (the most reachable position when you lie on the bed) may not be enough for your needs, imagine you just finished a day's journey and you want to import the pictures from your camera to your cell phone for editing, at this time you are so tired that you just want to lie on the bed, if you have outlet extender, you can charge not only your camera but also your cell phone, and you don't have to stand next to the desk for a power port and wait for it to charge.
3. Charging at a train or buses
Currently many long-distance buses and high-speed trains are equipped with charging ports, these ports are either usb ports or ac ports, if this time you have outlet extender, you can charge all of your electrical devices in the bus and train.
What's more, many high speed trains will have few charging ports (usually in the restroom), when many people need to use this charging port, because you have outlet extender, you can offer to share this charging port with others, so that people will not “fight” for the charging port.
4. Charging at vacation rentals or Airbnbs
Unlike hotels, not all vacation rentals or airbnb rooms have charging ports. For example, many countryside vacation rentals are not as well-designed as hotels, so when you and your travel companions arrive at these vacation rentals, you may not have enough charging ports to charge your devices, but if you have your own outlet extender, you can charge different devices at the same time.
Moreover, charging in these unfamiliar places may result in unstable voltages (such as tripping) and if you have an outlet extender with surge protection, you can protect your electronic devices from being damaged by the changing voltage.
5. Cafe and co-working spaces
When your purpose of traveling is for business meeting or you have the need of using a co-working space, your battlefield may be transferred to the co-working spaces like cafe, for example, when you work in a cafe, you will find that the cafe only has a limited number of charging ports, when you have an outlet extender, you can share a charging port with your neighbor to charge your computer, cell phone, tablet, headset or portable power bank.
6. Conference centers and event spaces
When you are attending an exhibition, you will find the venue is full of people, at this time you do not have a charger, and your cell phone is almost out of battery, your goal today is to find the right exhibitors for further business communication, you need to charge your cell phone right away, when you can hardly find a place with charging port, you find that the charging port has been occupied by someone else, if you have prepared an outlet extender, you can offer to share a charging port with someone else so that you can make sure your phone is fully charged.
Moreover, in this case, you need to charge your phone quickly, and if you have a high power outlet extender, you can charge your phone faster.
7. RVs and Campersite
Another place to use an outlet extender is when you are out camping, you may choose to stay in your own RV or in a tent, usually the campsite will have a power source, if you have an outlet extender you can charge different electronic devices at the same time. In an RV, a small RV usually only has 2-4 charging ports, but at this time you have to live up to three people, this time prepare an outlet extender can be a better solution to the needs of life. It can expand your one port into multiple charging ports, you can power your toaster, coffee maker, electronic fryer and other electrical devices at the same time.
Benefits of outlet extender
The first benefit of the Outlet Extender is that it expands the number of outlets, allowing you to charge many devices at the same time, which is especially important in places where the number of outlets is scarce or where there are a lot of people using the outlets (which happens a lot of the time). Because there are not always enough plugs in all the places, so taking a lightweight and simple outlet extender with you when traveling will allow you to enjoy your trip better.
1. Surge Protection Function
When traveling, because of the complexity of electricity usage, it is not excluded that there will be a sudden surge of voltage (in case of lightning strike, blackout or grid failure), then the outlet extender with surge protection will absorb the excess voltage and prevent it from flowing to the charging device.
Overall, using an outlet extender while traveling protects your power devices and extends the life of your batteries by ensuring a constant and safe voltage.
2. Centralized Charging Hub
Having an outlet extender makes it easier for you to organize your devices while traveling because you no longer have to search for your devices scattered around the room, whether you are charging your phone, tablet, or laptop, you can wait for them or use them in a neat and organized place.
3. Compact and easy to carry
Many of the current outlet extender are designed to be lightweight and compact, so it can be carried around, you can put the outlet extender in your own backpack, suitcase, or even fanny pack!
No matter where you go, take your outlet extender with you and start your day with a full charge.
How to choose the right Outlet Extender for Traveling
Choosing the right Outlet Extender for Traveling will ensure that you get the best value for your money.
Here are some factors to consider when choosing a multi-plug outlet extender:
1. Number of outlets
Consider how many devices you need to charge at the same time, choosing an outlet extender will not only charge all your charging devices at the same time, but you can also think about whether you want to leave a few more charging ports for your family or friends.
2. USB Ports
The advantage of usb ports is that it allows you to connect your charging cable directly to the usb port instead of connecting it to the charging brick, which allows you to charge your cell phone, headphones, watches and other powered devices faster.
3. Surge Protection
As we mentioned above, an outlet extender with surge protection can protect your battery by preventing excessive voltage from being passed through to the device, the rule of thumb is to always choose an outlet extender with surge protection so that it can keep your battery life longer.
4. Compact and lightweight design
There are some outlet extender on the market that are suitable for home use (Bulky!), while traveling, lightweight is a big factor in considering whether an outlet extender is suitable for traveling or not. Be sure to choose an outlet extender that is suitable for traveling so that you can easily take it to the faraway places you want to go.
5. Compatibility
Compatibility is a very important point to consider because many outlet extender only adapts to the power ports of the main country where it is used, if you are traveling across the country, make sure to bring the travel adapter of the destination country.Combining two wall plugs together and using the travel adapter and outlet extender together maybe give you a bad user experience. If you find that the power connector of your destination is not the same as your country. Choose to use a travel adapter instead of a outlet extender.
What's more, because the voltage varies from country to country, using a single-voltage outlet extender may cause damage to the connected outlet extender, and even if the outlet extender itself is not immediately damaged, the excessive voltage will be transmitted to the plugged-in device, thus damaging the charging electronic device. If your cell phone or power device is not dual voltage (fortunately most cell phones are dual voltage), then you need to be careful that your power device matches the voltage of the country you are going to. For example, if you take a single voltage outlet extender (120v) that is adapted for the US to the UK (220v) you will have the problem described above. If this is the case, you will need to choose a dual voltage travel adapter or purchase a voltage converter to convert the voltage of the country you are traveling to to the voltage required by your cell phone and outlet extender or travel adapter.
6. Charging speed
Charging speed is another topic we always talk about. Imagine you are about to go out, but your cell phone is only 20% charged and you want to charge it right away, you need a high power charger, the most popular charger in the market is the medium power charger (18W-30W), which is especially suitable for fast charging.
