I was glad to see a manual/instruction/information booklet included. The last thing you want to do when you plug in your charger is have it blow up in your face – and with the manual you can safely see before plugging it into the wall if it is the correct adapter for the continent/country you are in.

Specifications & Features:
As outlined by the developers:
» Direct Power (5V, 2000mA)
» Universal Charger that can be used in Europe, UK, the Americas, Australia, Asia, and Africa.
» Full Range Input (100-240V)
» Short Circuit Protection
» Over Current Protection
» Over Power Protection

Configuration & Setup:
Setup is very simple. All you have to do is pick the correct adapter for the country/continent you are in, attach it to the main charger (shown below), and then plug it into the wall. To attach the charger, simply attach these two pieces together:

To detach the adapter, simply hold down the following button and remove the adapter by pulling on it (it will unlock once you press down the button):

Performance:
Since we are located in Canada, I was only able to test out the adapter for North America. I encountered no issues, and was able to charge my laptop, mobile phone, and other small electronics lying around without any issue. As you can see, there is a blue LED that lights up when you plug in the adapter to the wall charger.

Overall:
This product is simply perfect. There is nothing else needed, you just pick your adapter, plug it into the charger, and you’re good to go! Just make sure you have a USB cable handy to charge your device since that is not included because each device requires a USB cable specific to itself.
