Abstract
A multi-source power adapter includes multiple adapter interfaces for connecting the charger unit or another electronic device to a power source, such as a standard power outlet, a car charger port, an airplane charger port, or a USB interface. In a preferred embodiment, the multi-source adapter unit provides an all-in-one charger adapter in a compact, lightweight unit. The charger adapter includes a body enclosing electrical connections; a wall plug interface operatively connected in the body and configured for insertion into a wall socket; a car charger interface formed on the body and configured for connection into a car socket; and a power output port formed in the body, and connected with the wall plug interface and with the car charger interface via the electrical connections enclosed in the body.
