Adapters are usually a kind of plug but can take a larger form like a transformer block. They allow a user to plug one device in one side and another in the other side and make them compatible. The most commonly found adapters are for electrical razors which usually terminate in a two pin plug, while most household sockets are three pin. The adapter simply has a two pin socket on one side and a three pin plug on the other. These types of adapter usually do not change the electrical current, they simple alter the shape of the plug, which is very helpful in foreign countries as most have their own shape of plugs and sockets.

Travel is one of the biggest areas of demand for adapters. The various countries of the world operate on different voltage power grids. Most western hemisphere countries use approximately 110 volt systems while most others use approximately 220 volts. When powering a low voltage electrical device from high voltage a converter will cut out the extra power, but this not suitable for anything electronic like a computer. For this and for going from low to high you need a transformer.

A dedicated traveller can acquire purpose built adapters that are expensive but have a female socket for multiple types of plug and interchangeable male plugs for use in various countries. These are incredibly useful for someone who travels a lot and uses a laptop computer or hairdryer etc.

Is your Laptop battery totally dead? Well do not throw it in the bin just yet. You have several options that will get you back on track and using your Notebook or Laptop. You could be paying a cost of £40 which is typical for the cost of a replacement battery.

I will give you instructions that could see you saving from 30% up to 90% on the cost of replacing your battery. A word of warning, I would not do this unless the battery is completely useless and it is on the way to recycling.

Ok the cheaper alternative is to replace the batteries inside the battery pack. So you need to remove the battery pack from your laptop. Proceed to open the pack carefully, using a screwdriver should be fine. Inside you will find a number of batteries.

If any of these are leaking then you may consider stopping this process. If you do continue I must stress that you be very careful.

Ok you now need to identify the replacement Batteries (Cells) and note exactly how they are connected to each other. You should verify that the batteries are dead by testing them with a multimeter or other device.

Once you have identified that they are dead you need to order replacements, they should have a slightly higher milliamp value than the old ones. After receiving you replacements do any required soldering, using safety equipment and make sure all connections are in tact. At this point you should test the new batteries to make sure they work properly.

Put the case of the battery pack back together and seal it. Place the unit back into the Laptop and start enjoying your laptop.
