Travel Adapter vs Power Bank vs Converter

This trips a lot of travellers up, so here's the plain version.

An adapter changes the shape of your plug so it physically fits into a different country's wall socket. It doesn't change the electricity itself.

A converter changes the voltage. You only need one of these if a device is single-voltage, meaning it only works on one specific voltage level, like some older hair dryers or straighteners.

The Dashed® TravelPod accepts 100-240V input, which covers every country's mains voltage worldwide. That means your phone, tablet, Apple Watch, and most other handheld electronics will charge safely wherever you are, with no separate converter required.

What it isn't built for: single-voltage, high-wattage appliances like hair dryers, straighteners, or kettles. If you're travelling with one of those, check the label on the device itself, and pack a dedicated voltage converter if it's needed.
