While this is sound advice if considering plugging in multiple hair dryers and TV sets, the 40 or so watts you'll draw from charging 4-5 electronic gizmos won't be anywhere near the 3400 or so watts the outlet is capable of delivering before you blow a fuse.

Each device will draw as much current (measured in amperes) as it needs, up to the limits of the charger you're using.
