If your Freeplay product didn't come with an AC adapter but can be
charged from the wall, this mini-USB charger (AC adapter) is the one to
use. Fits wall outlets of type A (USA, Canada, Japan and elsewhere),
type C (Europe and elsewhere), and type G (UK and elsewhere); for other
outlets a plug adapter should be inexpensive and easy to find.
About the Freeplay Mini-USB AC Adapter
Many
newer Freeplay products use the mini-USB charging standard, allowing
you to buy just one AC adapter to charge many devices. By avoiding
including an AC adapter (wall charger) with every product, we keep
prices down, and we lessen our impact on the environment. There are
already 1.5 billion AC adapters in use in the USA – that’s 5 per person
– and that’s just in the USA. This standardized approach will greatly
reduce the problem.
Products that use this charging standard
also have the advantage that they can be charged from a computer's USB
port, using an inexpensive cable (USB-A to mini-B, 5-pin not 4-pin).
You
may already have a mini-USB AC adapter. If you don’t, this one will
power not only Freeplay products but other devices as well, such as
many mobile phones and digital cameras.
Benefits
- Charge from the wall for extended shine times and play times of your Freeplay products.
- One charger for many products, not just those from Freeplay – less clutter, less confusion.
- Universal power supply with USA, UK and European pins supplied lets you carry one charger and use it anywhere.
- You
may already own an appropriate charger, and only buying the charger if
you need it means less waste and less cost – both financially and to
the environment.
