I don't know what the most powerful wall adapter is on the market, but you'd take the power this (most powerful adapter) can generate and see if that meets the energy required Oh dear. An adaptor does not generate power - it transforms electric energy from 230V AC to 5V DC (or whatever). But as I said above, and 1st Ade explained for you, it is the rate of energy flow that matters, whether you measure it in joules or watt hours (we are, after all, talkign about quite small amounts of energy).

Might be worth it if we could power our tablets, WiFi device, phones, and led lamp for the night ? Every little helps if your off grid. Can you not ask your boss at work assuming its not your business if you can charge a battery pack each day? Assuming you work a five day week a couple of packs and you could even cover days off? No good of course if you are retired? If you are on the dole then surely wetherspoons are used to this and will have dedicated sockets near the fag machines?

beerbeerbeerbeerbeer Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 First heard ‘snicket’ last year in Sowerby Bridge. I didn’t understand so they said ‘ginnel’. Took me awhile to get what they were on about. In Cornwall I’ve heard them called ’opies’. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter X Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 Other parts of the south may have their own words for it, but to me, brought up in south London, any foot path between or around buildings which isn't part of a road is an alley. And yes, we do use yonks down here, I think it's widely used across England at least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
