"The Lab"

Dec 20, 2016 at 9:56 AM Post #19,231 of 20,146
Here's something I picked up recently: "USB Charging Station"
 
There are many multiple USB port chargers floating around on eBay floating, majority of them coming from China. The downside to those is many of them share the maximum 2.4 amps between all USB ports.
 
This means if you plug two devices into the wall adapter capable of drawing 2amp charging they share the load with a final outcome of about 1.2A and less the more devices you add.
 
This one here wasn't cheap (about $20 AUD) and has 8A total shared between 5 ports. Also many safety features like heat sensors, surge protection, smart USB which detects how many amps the device can use.
 
For someone like me with multiple DAPs and a smartphone its a great way to remove multiple wall adapters from your life.

Agreed, enough total power is crucial when charging. I've got a couple of similar ones from Anker that's also really good.

We're six in the family and we pretty much fill up two five port charges plus some single ones every night lol

Woo-hoo, the surgery is over. Everything looks good. It'll be end of January until we see results because the internal packing takes awhile to dissolve. Fingers crossed :fingers_crossed:
