Solve The “charger clutter” Problem & Reduce Power Consumption
Most homes now have five or more portable devices and each one comes with a different charger that we leave plugged in at various locations round the house.
The Universal Multi-Charger from One for All will charge up to three devices simultaneously, with no messy wires and an LED light for the individual charge slots.
Once each battery is fully charged, that slot shuts down automatically and the light goes out – so, as well as saving energy, you can tell the charging process is complete, without having to check the device display (which is often locked).
