Acer Aspire Switch 10

[mikey4444]

I have one of these beasties, and the battery life isn't brilliant. I have looked on ebay to see if I can get an in-car charger, but I haven't had much success.

I am away from home for a few hours every day, and I was chased out of ASDA yesterday, for plugging it into one of their sockets !

Can anyone help ?

if you didnt ask then its called stealing....

COSTA does not seem to mind folks plugging in !! and they stay for hours with one coffee !!

[retrocop]

Costa advertise Free Wi- Fi. They don't expect their outlet to be used as a free charging station. For all ASDA could know there may have been no purchase made but just used for theft of electricity. It is the same as low-lifes stealing electricity from street lights to power their squats.

Yes..... but unplugging the freezers in ASDA to charge you PC is a bit naughty ;-) LOL..

minty
Because it is also an inter-net coffee bar.They would expect people to buy a coffee and use their laptops. Mikey would of been better off going to Wetherspoons where customers are freely allowed to plug in their laptops as it is also advertised as Free Wi-Fi (No problem in my local).
Any how I have saved Mikey a brush with his beloved law and supplied an Amazon link for purchase of charger.

I`m not sure if they are available for your model but a 9 cell battery will last longer than the regular one or you could just buy a spare to change over to.

Thanks Alice....that looks just the ticket !

[aelmpvw]

are you saying i can't set up my office in my local asda? damn

[mikey4444]

I and my colleague had spent nearly £20 in the ASDA Cafe, before we were told that plugging in my laptop wasn't allowed ! The words that the ASDA person actually used was "its against the law" !

The charger SlackAlice links to charges the Aspire Switch 10E, but not the Aspire Switch 10 so be sure of the model before you order, mikey

[hc4361]

It is illegal to abstract electricity without the bill payers permission, mikey

[mikey4444]

Thanks HC....I hadn't noticed that !

Consider buying some spare batteries and charging them before you go out ...

[ummmm]

I seen a bloke charge his phone by unplugging the outside heaters in the smoking area of my uncles pub. A bit cheeky...
