With the relatively new introduction of mobile phones, and other forms of technology comes a different type of power! In the past many of our appliances only ran on "AC" power (Alternating Current), however newer technology has moved over to 'DC' power (Direct Current) and one of the reasons why is because DC power is more efficient than AC power - DC produces less heat in simple terms and therefore it is less wasteful, something we can all get on-board with with.
