Different standards and sockets can all lead to confusion when planning on travelling to another country especially to the first time traveller. With only a handful of different types of plug sockets being used in the world this article tells you exactly what you'll need to purchase in advance to charge your Beats Pill 2 . If you're visiting Tuvalu the following useful instructions show how to charge the Beats Pill 2 by using the 220 volt 50Hz Type I Tuvaluan power supply.

If you plan to visit a destination like Vaiaku or Asau we recommend reading the Tuvalu country wikipedia page [1] for more information.
