UK chargers

UK charger - what is it?

A UK charger is a charger that is compatible with the British plug standard. The English plug, expertly called a G-type plug, has three rectangular pins, which are arranged in a classic triangle. The grounding pin, or fuse, is positioned vertically. The English plug works with voltages in the range of 220-240 V. And it is for this type of socket that UK chargers are manufactured.

UK chargers - like those with a European plug - can charge a variety of electronic devices. Phones, tablets, laptops, headphones, e-book readers or tobacco warmers.... The list of compatible devices is very long. Whether a particular UK charger will charge your device depends on the power required.
