Poweradd Family-Sized 5 Port Desktop USB Wall Charger Travel Power Adapte
- 10 years ago
My wife and I have had as many as six single-port AC chargers in the house, but then we started replacing these with multi-port chargers. With the Poweradd 5-port charger, we can put all of the old single-port chargers away. I tested the charger with four mobile devices: two smart phones and two 7" tablets. I plugged the two tablets into the 2.1A ports, and the phones into the 1.0A ports. (In practice, I don't think it matters which ports you use, although the higher-amperage ports will recharge some devices at a faster rate.)
All four devices were being recharged steadily while they were connected to the Poweradd charger. The charger became warm to the touch but not hot. I had a USB power meter on one of the 2.1A ports that was charging a Kindle Fire, and it was drawing 0.45A. That's a bit less than I've gotten from some 2A single-port chargers, but for me, it was acceptable, since I usually recharge this tablet overnight when speed isn't that important.
Having a 5-foot power cord connected to the charger has its pluses and minuses, but mostly pluses. It gives the flexibility to place the charger wherever you want instead of plugging it directly into a wall outlet, but the cord is fairly thick and not too flexible, so it may tend to move the charger around on a table or countertop.
Overall, I give the Poweradd 5-port AC charger pretty good marks.
