Abstract

Systems and methods for powering and/or charging the battery of an electronic device from selectable power sources. A powering device is provided having multiple contacts or connections such that any electronic device can be powered by any power source through utilization of the powering device. In one implementation, the device includes an adapter to couple an electronic device (e.g., a cell phone, game console, iPod®, PDA, camera, computer device or any other portable electronics device) to a power source, wherein the adapter is a vehicle cigarette lighter adapter, a 9 volt battery adapter, a, wall socket adapter, a USB adapter, or another power source adapter. In a further implementation, the powering device includes a retractable cord that is selectively coupled to one of a variety of cell phone adapters to allow any type of cell phone to be charged using the device. Additionally, the powering device is used for providing power to a cell phone for purposes of operating the cell phone and/or charging the battery of the cell phone. More particularly, implementation of the present invention relates to adapting a variety of different power sources to provide power to a cell phone.
