Measuring roughly 5.5 × 6 cm, the device offers about 50 ignitions per charge, includes an LED battery indicator and is marketed as wind‑resistant and safe for indoor and outdoor use. Alongside the lighter, Tchibo released a USB travel adapter with interchangeable plugs covering up to 200 countries, including the United States, Europe, the United Kingdom and Australia. The adapter provides three charging ports – two USB‑C (one fast‑charge) and one USB‑A – allowing simultaneous charging of up to three devices. Both products are priced at €24.99 and are promoted as convenient solutions for travelers needing reliable power and ignition tools abroad. The travel adapter was later highlighted in a German consumer news roundup, reiterating its three‑port design and interchangeable plugs for use in up to 200 countries, confirming its continued availability and positioning as a travel‑friendly accessory. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-01: Microsoft adds taskbar positioning to Windows 11 preview update Microsoft restores taskbar positioning in a Windows 11 preview; German post offices require ID for parcel pickup; Lidl launches a €7.99 Döner‑Croissant set; Tchibo offers a multi‑plug USB travel adapter; advice 6 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/tchibo-introduces-usb-powered-lighter-and-travel-adapter-for-everyday-use-1 ### 2026-07-25: Tchibo introduces USB-powered lighter and travel adapter for everyday use Tchibo rolled out a plasma‑arc USB lighter and a multi‑plug USB travel adapter, both rechargeable and designed for convenient everyday use. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/tchibo-introduces-usb-powered-lighter-and-travel-adapter-for-everyday-use --- Cite as: Tchibo launches USB rechargeable lighter.
