This isn't as complex as it first appears, with only a handful of different types of common standards being used throughout the world this guide shows exactly what to purchase in advance to charge the Jabra Solemate Mini .

Charging the Jabra Solemate Mini in Wales
What is the best power adapter for recharging the Jabra Solemate Mini in Wales?
If travelling to multiple countries and bringing more than just your Jabra Solemate Mini then the best international travel charger for Wales to buy is a multiple USB port charger which includes compatible plugs such as a 4 port USB travel charger. Because these types of chargers are supplied with interchangeable pins and can handle from 100 - 240 volts it makes them ideal for multiple countries in North America, Europe, Asia and Africa simply by switching the supplied plugs. If your model of Jabra Solemate Mini is compatible with Fast Charge (not all USB devices can) then you'll benefit from much quicker recharging times by using one of these travel adapters and additional support for certain power hungry devices like tablets. Unlike other travel adapters this means you can recharge more than one device at once without needing to buy multiple power chargers on your Welsh trip or occupying additional wall sockets. Only needing to bring a single travel charger will also keep the weight down, making it ideal to store in hand baggage. Because of their space saving flexibility these types of travel chargers can be used when back at home not just abroad so when you’re not travelling they can sit under your bedside table charging multiple phones and tablets using just a single wall outlet.
If you travel to different continents we suggest buying this type of versatile travel charger at your preferred electronics retailer - the power adapter illustrated below is the universal multi-device USB wall charger which has been successfully tested with multiple USB devices in numerous countries around the world.
