This guide has been specifically written to assist travellers wanting to charge the Beats Pill 2 when abroad.This page is a step by step guide telling you what you'll need to supply power to your Beats Pill 2 when you are in Israel by using their M, C or H type 220 volt 50Hz plug outlets, please be aware that Type H wall outlets will be typically used by a majority of Israelis.

What is the best power charger for a Beats Pill 2 in Israel?

If travelling to multiple countries then the best international travel power adapter for Israel to buy is a multiple USB port charger which includes swappable plugs like a 4 port USB travel charger. There are three types of wall outlets in Israel (types M, C and H) and using a travel charger like this ensures that you are covered for type C. As these types of chargers come with interchangeable plugs and can handle from 100 - 240 volts it makes them ideal for multiple countries in Europe, Asia, North America and Africa just by changing the supplied heads. If your Beats Pill 2 is compatible with Fast Charge (note that not all USB devices do) then you'll benefit from much faster charging times with one of these power adapters, along with additional compatibility with more power demanding devices. Having a 4 port adapter means you can power multiple devices simultaneously without needing to bring multiple travel adapters or using up additional wall outlets. By only packing a single travel charger will help keep the size down, making it ideal to fold up in hand luggage as well as being on hand for charging your Beats Pill 2 at an airport or on a plane. Because of their space saving flexibility these types of adapters can be used when back at home so when you’re not travelling they can sit under your bedside table charging multiple phones, tablets and speakers without using up an additional wall outlet.
