Can anyone tell me where I could get a car charger which will charge two mobile phones and a laptop at the same time but which will not damage any of the items being charged?

  • You could use a car charger which converts 12v into a 5v USB outlet, then insert a multiple USB adaptor. This is presuming you have USB chargers, of course.

    depends which mobiles you've got.

    you can either get a 4 way car charger and stick the phone chargers and a laptop (car) charger in; or you can just get a laptop car charger and plug the mobiles into that if you can charge them via USB

    Have a 3 way charger at the moment so the only thing that is missing is the laptop charger. Can't charge all mobiles from laptop. Need laptop charger which will charge but also allow other things to charge at the same time.

    Mine is the older version, with no usb, I just plug in the mains phone chargers, on a mulltiblock along with the netbooks.

    if you get a laptop charger it'll only take up one of the ports on the charger, so you can use the other two for the mobiles.
