Electrical Extension
First Claim
1. A method for configuring an electrical extension device, comprising:
- measuring an electric current level being drawn from at least one of a plurality of electrical plugs by at least one of a plurality of loads;
comparing the electric current level with a threshold to derive a comparison; and
determining whether or not to charge the at least one of the plurality of loads based on the comparison.

Abstract
An apparatus and method for configuring an electrical extension device, including measuring an electric current level being drawn from at least one of a plurality of electrical plugs by at least one of a plurality of loads; comparing the electric current level with a threshold to derive a comparison; and determining whether or not to charge the at least one of the plurality of loads based on the comparison. Additionally, the apparatus and method is for charging each of the at least one of the plurality of loads, wherein the charging is associated with a time duration, determining a charging state of one of the at least one of the plurality of loads and/or terminating the charge to the one of the at least one of the plurality of loads if the charging state indicates that it is at a fully charged capacity.
