Heads up: in the US (120V) and Japan (100V) the voltage is lower than at home. A travel adapter changes your plug, not the voltage. Check that your device handles 100 to 240V. Phone and laptop chargers almost always do.
Good to know before you go
An adapter is not a converter
A travel adapter makes your plug fit, but it doesn’t change the voltage. If your charger says 100 to 240V, you can use it anywhere. A hairdryer or curling iron that runs on one voltage does need a converter.
One plug for your whole trip
An Elekso works in 180+ countries and charges several devices at once via USB-A and USB-C. The 1A1C for a light bag, the 2A3C with five ports when the whole family comes along. What to look for when it comes to safety
FAQ
Do I need a travel adapter in Spain, Italy or Turkey?
Usually not. They use the same sockets as the Netherlands (type C and F). A travel adapter is mainly handy there if you want to charge several devices from one socket.
Will my hairdryer work in the US or Japan?
Only if it can handle the lower voltage. Check the device: if it says 100 to 240V, you’re fine. If it only says 230V, you’ll need a converter. A travel adapter doesn’t change the voltage.
Which Elekso is right for me?
Travelling light? The 1A1C is all you need. The 2A2C has four USB ports, the 2A3C has five, handy with the family. The 3A1C has three USB-A ports for older cables. Every model works in 180+ countries. Compare them side by side.
Can I charge my laptop with an Elekso?
Yes, through the socket on the adapter, as long as your laptop charger handles 100 to 240V. It says so on the charger itself, and that goes for almost every modern laptop charger.
How fast will my Elekso arrive?
Order on a working day before 4 pm and it arrives in 1 to 2 working days in the Netherlands. Belgium takes 3 to 5 working days. Shipping is free from €50.
