Abstract
A charger capable of converting either alternating current or direct current power source, with a cable storing mechanism, is disclosed. The device includes a main body to incorporate other components, an in-car connecting component which can be connected to the cigarette lighter of a car, a house connecting component which can be connected to the AC receptacle, and a cable storing device having a spiral structure to smoothly store the charging cable. Because the dual input charger is so compact that a consumer can carry easily the charger and to choose either the in-car connecting component or the house connecting component, depending on the conditions he faces with. When the charging is finished, a consumer can readily grasp and rotate the charger to sequentially wind the charging cable into the continuous spiral groove of the cable storing device.
