Brando Brings 3rd Party Travel Charger and Car Charger
February 4th, 2008 by antIf you’ve been looking for a travel charger or a car charger for your Eee PC, you’re in luck!
The Brando Workshop ASUS Eee PC Travel Charger allows you to charge your Eee PC wherever you are across the world. It sells for $23.
If you’re on the road locally, they have the ASUS Eee PC Car Charger Cable for you- for only $18. Not bad at all!
It’s good to see 3rd parties beginning to make accessories for the Eee PC!

Well I just ordered a car charger. I’ll let you know how it works out. I like that the shipping is $3 to anywhere in the world!

Hmm? - I thougt the Eee-PC has a nice charger together with a looong (white) cable and an adaptor for US and EUR plugs and supports 110 - 240 volts (at least in germany it it sold this way).

Terry- yes, please let me know!
701- In the US it only comes with US plugs.

I’m thinking of getting this charger to use as a spare so I can leave one at home all plugged in and carry the other one around with me (and my eeepc). The different adapters are just an additional bonus.
I already had to buy a second power supply for my “real” notebook as I kept forgetting the power supply at work!

Now all we need’s a battery and I’ll be immensely happy!

Hope this works well. I could really use this soon.

In the UK at least, the charger comes with built in (folds away) us 2-pin with a 3 pin UK plug. It seems to me as though all it needs is a simple adaptor for 2 pin europe (in the same way that the existing adaptor adapts to 3 pin UK). Result - a compact world charger.

I like having a spare charger to take on trips or leave at the office, frankly. Plus, if the batteries can be hooked up to the charger without being in the computer, that means I can take one adapter with me to use the computer while the spare adapter is charging the spare battery.

The battery charging connector is on the EeePC body not on the battery itself. It is so on all notebooks that I have seen by the way, so you cannot hook the battery charger directly to the battery.

My eee Brando charger arrived after two weeks or so. Shipping was only $3, but slow. It works fine. Shaped differently, but not really bigger and just as light as the original charger. The cord is only about half as long as the 9 foot one on the original, but that’s ok, in some cases better, less excess cord to have to tie up most of the time. Has a green LED on when plugged in. At $21 including shipping it was a deal over some of the others I have seen.

Well I finally got the Brando EeePC car charger in the mail. Took almost 4 weeks! The review is up on my website for now, once I determine if my issues with the charger are going to effect others I will post it in the reviews section on this website.

Terry, your review is a 404?
Anyone had problems with the power adaptors from Brando? Mine (UK) has quite spotty contact in the EEE itself, so quite often I think it’s charging, but the light on the EEE is not on, and it isn’t
