  2. Hello Sarah, Thanks for your question. Loughton laptop lockers all come with a charger. We're currently running a trial at Colchester and Southend, if you select a 6-hour loan, there will be a charger in the locker along with the laptop that you can use. This trial will run until then end of December, more information and an opportunity to submit feedback can be found on our laptop loans page: https://library.essex.ac.uk/laptop
