Yemeni power outlet

Varying different region codes and voltages can all be confusing when planning on staying in another country especially if you've never been there before. When you are visiting Yemen this page has instructions showing you charging the iPad 2 using the types G, A or D 230 volt 50Hz plug outlets. If you are travelling to Yemen from a different region please check the iPad 2 can be used with a 240 volt supply. If it originated in a country which uses a lower voltage (for example 110v) ensure your device is dual voltage (indicated by 100-240 volts) otherwise you may need to use an additional converter to avoid the device from over-heating when powering up. These instructions assume you are running Apple iOS 7 or greater on the iPad 2.

What is the best travel charger for recharging the iPad 2 in Yemen?

If travelling with more than just your iPad 2 the best travel charger for Yemen to buy is a multiple USB adapter which includes compatible plugs like a 4 port USB travel charger. Yemenis use three different standards of wall outlets (types G, A and D) and using a travel adapter like this ensures that you are covered for both types A and G.

Because these types of chargers are supplied with interchangeable plugs and can handle 100 volts - 240 volts it makes them ideal for multiple countries around the world just by switching the included heads. If your iPad 2 can support Fast Charge (note not all USB devices can) then you'll benefit from faster recharging times with one of these types of travel chargers along with compatibility with certain power hungry devices like tablets. This will also allow you to power more than one device at once without needing to bring individual power adapters for your Yemeni trip. By only needing a single USB travel charger will help keep the overall weight and size down, making it perfect to store in hand luggage while travelling and on hand for recharging your iPad 2 at an airport or on the flight. Due to their space saving flexibility these types of travel chargers can be used when back at home so when you’re not travelling they can be used under your bedside table charging multiple phones and tablets without needing an additional plug socket.

If you travel regularly we suggest searching for a multipurpose travel charger of this nature online; the travel charger illustrated here is the 4 Port USB Wall Charger which has been tested successfully with multiple USB devices in numerous different countries around the world on a daily basis.
