Support purchasing a charging station

[Drexl]

I've been doing some research on charging stations and WOW there is so much crap out there it's hard to wade through it all. Ideally what I'm looking for is an adapter that has 2 to 6 standard outlets, and 3+ USB ports that can deliver 2.1+ amps simultaneously to at least 2 devices. I'd like it to plug straight into the wall with no cable if possible. Now I can find plenty of things that do this until you want to get 2.1 or more amps to more than one USB device at a time. Or I can meet my multi-device charging needs and lose the outlets. I can't seem to find both. I'd also like to stay <$25. Anyone know of a solution? I sure can't find it, and if I did I couldn't tell if it was reliable with so much tosh out there.

 

Thanks for the help.

Nope. Both of those provide 2.4 amps of SHARED power to the USB ports, meaning I'd get ~1.2amps per device if two are plugged in, and ideally I'd like 3 USB ports, although I'd settle for 2. Close though. It's the same problem I keep running into.

Your options are fairly limited if you want to to be part of the plug, as most are going to be dedicated chargers or power stations.

Holy balls you found it @Droidbot! Unfortunately it's significantly over $25, but I'll consider it. I looked all over and couldn't find that one. Anyone know of one cheaper?

If you don't need it to be on the outlet you have a lot more options, there is this one unit from Aukey that may be what your looking for 6 amps of USB power.

@W-L You did it! That first link for the AUKEY checks all the boxes. Minimum 2 outlets, min 3 USB with ability to provide full power to two of them, direct in outlet, and less than $25. I don't know how you guys do it. The other solutions are amazing as well. I might have to pick up your other link as well eventually or @Droidbot's suggestion for other uses in the future. Thanks so much guys!

 

Edit: In case anyone else is looking for something simliar I also found this in the sidebar after viewing the AUKEY: https://www.amazon.com/Bestten-Charging-Center-Wall-Protector-Certified/dp/B016ORDJM8/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_sims?ie=UTF8
