Charging the iPad Mini 2 from a power outlet in Georgia
Instructions on how to power the iPad Mini 2 from a Georgian power outlet by using a USB Lightning Apple cable and a Type C Europlug power adapter and how to charge the iPad Mini 2 using a 2 pin Schuko Type F power adapter.
Differing region codes and voltages can all be confusing when planning on staying in another country especially if you've never been there before. If planning a trip to Georgia the following useful instructions show how to supply power to the iPad Mini 2 by using their standard Type F or C 220 volt 50Hz wall outlets. If you are visiting Georgia from another country make sure that the iPad Mini 2 can be used with a 240 volt supply. If it originated in a country which uses a lower voltage (for example 110v) ensure that your device is dual voltage (indicated by 100-240 volts) otherwise you may need to use an additional converter to avoid the device from being damaged when charging it. If you intend on taking a trip to a destination such as Sukhumi we also suggest reading the Georgian country page on Wikipedia [1] for further information. These instructions assume that you have installed Apple iOS 7 or greater on the iPad Mini 2.

What is the best power adapter for the iPad Mini 2 in Georgia?
When travelling to more than one country and bringing along more than your iPad Mini 2 the best international travel adapter for Georgia is a multiple USB adapter which includes swappable plugs such as a 4 port USB travel charger. Georgians use two different standards of wall outlets (types F and C) and bringing this ensures that you are covered for type C.
Because these types of chargers come with interchangeable pins and can handle 100 volts to 240 volts will mean you can travel to multiple countries in Europe, Asia, North America and Africa simply by changing the heads over. If your type of iPad Mini 2 is compatible with Fast Charge then you'll benefit from much faster charging times by using one of these USB travel chargers, plus additional compatibility with certain power hungry devices.
This will also allow you to power more than one device at once without needing to buy individual power adapters or occupying additional wall outlets. Because you are only packing a single lightweight travel charger will also keep the weight and size down, making it ideal to fold up and store in hand baggage whilst travelling. Because of their space saving flexibility these types of power adapters can be used back at home so when you’re not travelling they can sit under your bedside table charging multiple phones and tablets without needing an additional plug socket.
If you travel to Georgia we suggest searching for this type of versatile power adapter at an electronics retailer. The multipurpose power charger illustrated below is the 4 Port USB Wall Charger which has been successfully tested with multiple USB devices in numerous foreign countries.
