Can I use any charger for any device?
Many chargers will work for a variety of devices, but you still need to make sure you're choosing the right type of cable for the product that you need to charge. The primary options for charging cables are: Lightning cables: Apple's lighting connection is exclusive to Apple products, but you can purchase this type of cable from other manufacturers. Micro-USB chargers: Micro-USB cables have replaced mini-USB cables in modern products. This type of cable is used for many smartphones, digital cameras, and MP3 players. USB Type-C: A new standard, this has replaced the Micro-USB on the very latest devices. These are used for some smartphones, security cameras, and laptops.  While you can swap chargers for many items, laptops are often an exception. These typically need a very specific cable. Anytime you're purchasing a charger for electronics, it's important to check the product carefully so you can select the appropriate cable.
