iXCC Quad USB Charging Station
As 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 iXCC charger enables you to simultaneously charge up to four different devices. Two of the USB outlets supply 2 A of current, while the other two work with 1 A. This means that this charger is ideal for charging two tablet-sized devices with two smartphones at the same time. 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.
There are a few issues that I have with this charger. First of all, I wish that all four USB outlets supplied 2 A current. That would make simultaneous charging of four different devices much faster. Second, instead of the power chord I wish that the charger used retractable power prongs and was able to be directly plugged into the wall outlet. That would make it much more portable and reduce the overall clutter.
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.
