EmPower Classic

The first EMPower system has been retroactively named EM Power Classic. It is a 15 V DC connector type. It is often found on many commercial airlines designed to provide power to travelers' electronic devices. Some airlines offer it only in business class or only in certain types of aircraft or flights. Travelers can buy EmPower adapters, frequently from duty-free shops at airports, that allow them to run laptops and other electronic equipment without using battery power. Adapters also exist to convert to cigarette-lighter adapters, which also provide 15 volts and thus need no bulky transformer.
