A portable (travel) charger or power adaptor () can minimize the protrusion from a wall when used as a wall mounted charger and can further maximize the number of power adaptors that can be (safely) plugged into a standard AC strip. The power adaptor can include a housing () containing a power transformer and a pair of pivoting prongs (and) forming a plug () arranged to be substantially near a top portion of the housing. The pair of pivoting prongs in a first position or horizontal position can make the adaptor suitable or configured for coupling to an AC wall outlet receptacle and in a second position or vertical position can make the adaptor suitable or configured for placement in an AC strip receptacle () of a standard power strip ().
