Decluttering electrical gizmos, help please

elljay

Dear all, I seem to have collected masses and masses of electric-related cables, adaptors and chargers over the years and have no idea how to match or make use of them. I can identify computer cables, scart cables, tv aerial cables and landline cables, but other than that I have masses of what I assume are phone chargers but could be torch chargers or anything else needing a charger, as well as various adaptors and other miscellaneous wires. I can't remember what they're all for but just know that as soon as I chuck them I will realise I can't use the little telly in the motorhome or whatever. They all seem to be of different power which is worrying as I don't know what all they all mean.

Also several sets of headphones, which I think must've come with phones over the years, but which, and whether they're still any use, is unfathomable to me. Why doesn't it say on them? GRRR!

HELP! please.

Thanks
Liz

we're the same, ive found numerous hands free kits for mobiles but as theres no sticker on them saying what phone they're for we just car boot them, does it say a make on the chargers

Nice to know it's not just me! Do people buy them at car boots? I'm always wary of anything electrical at car boots just in case they're not safe.

One has nokia on it which helps, I know I don't have that phone any more, but once someone came to visit who needed a charger and I was really glad I still had it so they could make use of it. However that's not really a sensible reason for hanging on to it perpetually! I might just chuck that one. Otherwise nothing is identifiable.

Does it have any writing on it - a code or a serial number? try typing it into google

I tend to label plugs etc with those Dynamo label things the kind you put small plastic tape an punch in the letters so at least I know. Its handy when you have loads of plugs in sockets and want to turn of devices you dont want on to save standby it also useful for this if you need reconize what charges, or worn you not to unplug a device like a freezer which we have in garage
