Frequently Asked Questions
Why would I need a dual charger?
Having one device that charges two Mac products at once has several benefits. First, you have one less charger to carry around and secondly, you only need one power outlet to charge two devices at once. If you spend time working on the road, in conference rooms, coffee shops, etc., you know how hard it can be to find an outlet. Having a dual charger like PlugBug means one power supply is all you need to quickly charge both your MacBook and iPad or iPhone at the same time.
Why not charge my iPhone with my MacBook Pro?
While you can use your expensive MacBook Pro to charge your iPhone, it’s really not the most efficient way to do it. PlugBug is a full 10 watt charger, which delivers the most powerful charge possible for iPhone or iPod. This means PlugBug will power up iPhone or iPad much faster than your MacBook will. And the compact PlugBug is a much more convenient that pulling out a 17-inch MacBook Pro.
What type of MacBook Power Adapter do I need for PlugBug?
PlugBug fits all MacBook, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air Power Adapters and charges all iPads and iPhones.
What if I only need one to charge my iPhone?
Not to worry. PlugBug works as a stand alone wall charger as well. You can use it to charge just your iPhone or iPad anytime.
