Travel Technology – Must Have Travel Gadgets

For Australian plugs (Type I):

• USA/Canada → Use an AU→US adaptor (Type A/B).
• Europe (most countries) → Use an AU→EU adaptor (Type C).
• United Kingdom/Ireland → Use an AU→UK adaptor (Type G).

Region-specific adaptors (e.g., Korjo) are lighter and more reliable than bulky “universal” bricks. If you’re visiting multiple regions, a universal adaptor plus a small AU→[country] adaptor is a smart combo.

Most modern chargers (phones, laptops, cameras) are 100–240V and only need a plug adaptor. Check your charger label for “100–240V ~ 50/60Hz”.

Single-voltage appliances (e.g., some hair dryers) may need a converter or a dual-voltage travel version.

GaN (gallium nitride) chargers are smaller, cooler, and more efficient. A 100W USB-C PD model can fast-charge many laptops (e.g., USB-C MacBooks/Ultrabooks), tablets, and phones. Confirm your laptop supports USB-C charging and match the required wattage.

A USB charger & adaptor combines a plug adaptor with built-in USB/USB-C outputs—handy for charging multiple devices without carrying extra bricks. A plain adaptor only changes the plug shape and provides no power conversion or USB ports.

We stock compact business packs through to expandable waterproof laptop backpacks that fit up to 17-inch laptops, plus slim options for 14–15.6-inch devices. Most models are suitable as a carry-on or personal item when not overpacked—always check your airline’s size rules and each product’s dimensions.

A TSA-approved lock lets airport security open and relock your bag with a master key if needed. It doesn’t make a bag “unopenable,” but it’s convenient and avoids lock damage during inspections.

Yes, with a key condition: airlines generally require the lithium power bank to be removable. Remove the battery and carry it in cabin baggage when requested. Our smart hard-shell luggage uses an external USB passthrough—pair it with a removable power bank.

Large power stations (hundreds of watt-hours) are generally not permitted on passenger aircraft. Most airlines follow rules that allow lithium batteries up to 100Wh in carry-on (100–160Wh with airline approval) and never in checked bags. Units like 555–716Wh are for road trips and camping—please don’t bring them to the airport.

Always confirm your airline’s latest battery policy before travelling.

Yes. In good sun, 14–22W panels can charge phones and small power banks (speed varies with clouds/angle). They’re not suitable for quickly charging large power stations—expect only a trickle for those.

Many docks (e.g., the Targus USB 3.0 & USB-C Dual Travel Dock) support dual displays, but compatibility depends on your laptop’s GPU/USB-C/DisplayLink support and your OS. Check your laptop specs and the dock’s display standards before purchase.
