PowerLine 4-Port USB Power Adapter: 1 for $7, 2 for $11, 3 for $15

http://slickdeals.net/f/5867598-E...st57720078

Above seems like a better deal to me:

$7/2000mA = $0.0035/mA vs. $38.99/12000mA = $0.0032/mA
2,000mah vs. 12,000mah
port output: all 500mA vs 500mA - 2100mA
not to mention EasyAcc is must better made and received 4.5/5 stars on amazon after 124 reviews.

Quote from Sam Hobbs : I was going to buy a Bluetooth mouse from them but in the shopping cart it says something about a child getting something bad if I do not check out. I realize that they are being humorous, but I choose to avoid anyone trying to manipulate me using guilt. I am not Jewish.

So you DID realize that they were joking ... yet you still think they're trying to manipulate you using guilt? Lighten up dude

Steer clear of these cheap usb outlets. Most of these low end power outlets have junk internal parts, make noise while charging and could catch fire. Not worth it.

Stick with the big names. Belkin, Griffin, Etc.

Multi charger [amazon.com]

Quote from AkumaX : Most I've seen was a 4.2A (2 x 2.1A) I did see a big surge protector, which had 2 x 2.1A and 2 x 1A, with max 5.2A http://www.amazon.com/BESTEK-Char...slickdeals

oh man this thing looks pretty sweet. wish it didnt' have the ipod charger thing in the middle tho, id prefer a bucket to dump all my devices in so it looks less cluterry.

Huh? That is a backup battery. This is a wall charger.

ha, love the name of that one too!

what if i plug in a four port usb hub into my ipad charger? if i use one port, will it be 2A or only 500mA? will two ports be 1A each or, again, 500mA? (the only thing i remember from my electrical eng class was v=ir).

Useless picture. Need to show the other side.. pass.

Looks the same as this: http://www.amazon.com/PowerLine-2..._pr_sims_t

Why is this a good deal? You can get this same functionality through a regular powered hub and those can be found for $5 all over the place. This is just a repackaged USB hub with the power plug integrated in to the device, big woop.

It's more compact I guess?
Also I've found that a lot of those $5 hubs don't reliably charge 4 devices. Don't know if I'm just doing it wrong or what. I tried some of those cheap $2 hubs from China, and a couple of the cheap $5 mini usb hubs made for laptops. Some of them seem to short out, or after some time just stop charging one of the devices. Doesn't happen with these.
Maybe I just bought junk usb hubs. The only '<$10 hub I've found that works reliably with all 4 ports in use is the squarish Belkin one with high ratings on Amazon.

But yes, it seems like even though they're more expensive ($30-40), the 4 port chargers with 2A, 1A ports seems to be a lot more useful. You can charge multiple tablets on one of those, whereas these won't work.

Might be the luck of the draw for you as it was for me. I had a nice 7-port D-Link but it wouldn't let me charge devices without it being connected to the computer. But then I got this:

and I put it in my "Executive wooden multiple device charging station" and need only one wall plug that goes to my USB hub and the rest of the cabling is just USB cables. Since it is a 7-port, I can double up with a "y" USB cable to get an amp out of the deal.

EDIT: Wow, quick reply is broken.

Very nice.
If you've got experience with this as well I'd love to hear it:
Many USB hubs will randomly drop out devices like USB audio adapters. The only decent one that didn't was, again, the squarish Belkin. If you've got any other good models you know of I'd love to hear them.
