The AC adapter is what separates it from most chargers. My MFT mirrorless camera batteries can only be charged in an external AC charger, so this gives me another option overseas if I don't have enough adapters. Also I can plug in my AA rechargeable battery charger on my desktop when I need it - my power boards and power points are usually a hassle to access because they're hidden away or very low.
Pins for the charger's own plug are in the upside down position (personally I see this as an asset as it means you can use it with older skirting board power points (still common overseas), since the cable points up away from, instead of down into the floor.
With this charger's uninsulated plug, take extra care to ensure the plug is out of reach of kids and you keep metal (eg metal blind slats) away when it's plugged in. Australian regulated active and neutral pins (ie both pins for 2 prong plugs, and the top 2 diagonal prongs for 3 prong plugs) produced since 2005 are insulated except for the tips. You may have some pre-2005 uninsulated plugs you're using on other stuff that you should also take care with.
How is the AC cable connected - fixed, or C13 or something else perhaps? I can't find any photos of the back end of it.
