Description
This compact USB mains charger from Mercury gives you a straightforward way to power up your everyday devices. It has a single USB port with a 2.1A output, which is enough to charge smartphones, tablets and digital cameras at a sensible pace. The small footprint means it slots neatly into a wall socket without blocking the one next to it, so it works well at home, in the office or packed away for travel.
The charger runs on a wide input range of 100-240Vac at 50/60Hz, so it copes with mains supplies across the UK and further afield. You will still need the correct plug type for your destination, but the internal electronics handle the voltage side of things. The gloss white finish keeps it looking tidy against most walls and skirting boards, and the plain design means it does not draw attention to itself.
We think of this as a reliable spare or a sensible replacement for a charger that has gone missing. Pair it with your own USB cable (also called a USB lead) to suit the device you want to charge, whether that is a phone, a tablet or a camera. The 2.1A rating gives you a bit of headroom over older 1A units, so devices that draw more current top up more quickly. It is a simple, no-fuss piece of kit for keeping your batteries full.
