Any recommendations? Some reviews of 4 port chargers warn that iphones, androids and tablets will charge much more slowly than a 2 port. Is this true from your experience?
Between my husband and me, we'll need 4 USB ports. What products do you trust? Thanks.
Hi Analise,
Where you're planning on plugging it in is irrelevant to your choice of USB charger; any charger you get will work the same whether it's plugged into a wall outlet in the UK, continental Europe, or anywhere else. The only difference is the kind of plug it comes with. You can plug a charger with a US plug into a wall outlet in Europe if you have the right plug adapter.
Charging speed depends on the power that each USB port provides. Unfortunately Amazon's listings generally don't specify this per port. What devices are you charging? Phones typically draw less than 1 amp. IPads draw 2 amps. So if you're charging two iPads and two phones you need six amps.
