Get one with the “figure 8” cable connection and then get a figure 8 cable for your destination.


I do like the form factor of the Anker. I was a little surprised that they don't come with international adapters. My Genki Switch charger does and it looks like they have a similar, removable plug adapter.

Oh well, I'll probably follow your advice or checkout a different brand. Thanks!


I’ve got this one here, along with a couple of country specific power cables:

The term you are looking for is C5 connector.


That may be what it’s called, but I never use it. Ironically I work closely with electronics engineers and we still use “kettle lead”, “figure 8” and similar in person since everyone knows what they mean. BOMs are a different kettle of fish of course.


I like “Mickey mouse cable” for C5.
