aLLreli 34W / 6.8 A 4-Port USB Wall Charger Power Adapter

Screen Shot 2014-06-26 at 3.49.58 PMAs the number of small electronic devices has greatly proliferated in recent years, a great new trend has emerged: almost all of these devices can be charged using some form of the standard USB charger. Even though at the device end of the charging cable there are still many existing standards, the USB plug seems to justify the U in its name – it is becoming pretty near universal. However, the sheer number of such devices that I travel with – iPhone, iPad, Kindle, headphones, et.c – still means that I usually have to remember to take with me at least three or four chargers if I am to be able to charge all of my gadgets simultaneously. This is why I am always excited to come across a solution that can simplify my digital life and make it more tractable. This wall charger is definitely one such device.

This charger enables you to simultaneously charge up to four different devices. All four of its its USB ports carry 2 A currents, which means you can simultaneously charge up to four different tablets. I’ve used this charger several times already, and was indeed able to charge four devices simultaneously. The charger is pretty solidly built, and it seems pretty reliable.

I do have one issues with this charger though: The wall prongs are not foldable/retractable. This might not be as much of an issue with the small single/purpose chargers, but putting this kind of charger in your travel bag directly is less than ideal.

There are also some external batteries that are about the size of this charger that can serve dual purpose: charging your devices when plugged in the wall AND while you are away from any wall outlets. If you anticipate needing to recharge your devices on-the-go, those external batteries might be a better solution for your needs.
