<\/a><\/p>\n1. Know your devices<\/p>\n
Figure out how much battery life you get from them, how much battery power they draw from the charger, and how long they take to charge. If it helps, note this down on small stickers applied on your gadgets. Keep usage in mind. For instance, an iPad can last for days on a full charge if all you do is read and check email. Once you figure these stats out, you\u2019ll get a better sense of the chargers and cables you avneed to carry.<\/p>\n
2.\u00a0Get a good battery pack <\/a><\/p>\n Something that can hold enough juice to fully power up all your smartphone and Tablet PC\u00a0at least once. Mind you, there is a trade-off. Too much juice, and your battery pack can weigh a ton. Too slim, and you get very little battery power backup.<\/p>\n 3.\u00a0Get a travel adapter<\/p>\n This is basic stuff. Obviously you need a travel adapter. Otherwise you\u2019re going to be that creepy guy\/girl who goes around the hotel lobby begging for chargers. There are two things to keep in mind here. Number one, spend a little extra to get a good, solid, reliable travel Dell Latitude E4310 Adapter<\/a>\u00a0with a surge protector built in. Even better, buy one of those adapters with built-in USB ports. When you check into hotel rooms with a single power point, those USB ports will save lives. The second things to keep in mind: pack the bloody thing. No really, way too many people forget.<\/p>\n 4.\u00a0Have a gadget plan<\/p>\n You don\u2019t always have to pack your laptop, tablet and smartphone. So the first step in hassle-free travel is to whittle that list down. Think about your last trip. Which devices did you really use? Which ones spent the entire week inside the bag in the hotel? Leave the latter at home. Don\u2019t carry a laptop with you if all you do is check mails or write memos. A tablet with a Bluetooth keyboard will do just fine. Not only does a shorter list reduce luggage weight, it also reduces the number of cables you need to carry, and makes it much easier to stay charged.<\/p>\n 5.\u00a0Space<\/p>\n Set aside a pouch or bag for all your cables, wires, power packs and travel adapters. In fact, always keep this ready in a closet or inside a drawer. Make this one of the first things you throw into your suitcase.<\/p>\n 6.\u00a0Charge everything before you leave<\/p>\n
