International travellers kit
When I first purchased my PRS-500 way back when, I received the PRS-500 power adapter and US power cord, which was OK. I got some Australian power cord (AS 3112 plug, without grounding pin) with the same "Crazy 8" power plug for the adapter (otherwise known as unpolarized C7 line connector), swapped and everything was great. (Still is with my PRS-600!)
I had this US power cord lying around. No biggie, might be useful one day. Today, I happened upon a UK power cord (BS 1363) with the same line connector! It has occurred to me that I am effectively beginning to arrange a mini international travellers kit together and I was wondering: what power cord would be most useful for the (potentially) well travelled to try and obtain next? |

I figure that if I get hold of a europlug connector (type C) the only countries I probably couldn't connect my PRS-600 up to and charge in would be Gaza, Lesotho, Namibia, South Africa and Swaziland (with maybe difficulties finding a type C socket in Israel).
The PRS-500 charger I have can handle 100-240V, 50/60 Hz which of course covers everywhere - the issue for a traveller is only the plug. |
