I recently noticed a CyberPower 3 outlet AC power strip model GC306UCHD with USB A and 15W USB-C [cyberpowersystems.com [cyberpowersystems.com]] you can find at Home Depot for under $11(!). Unlike most every Anker power strip, the Cyber Power product is listed through ETL [intertekconnect.com [intertekconnect.com]] as a power strip and surge protector.
You can also find a comparable form factor from Amazon and historically at a per unit price as low as $7 per cube if you were willing to buy a 4- or 6-pack (1-pack ASIN B082Q1LC55, 4-pack ASIN B082Q26YYT; 6-pack ASIN B082Q26GGD). As a bonus, the Amazon product has 4 USB ports, a heavier gauge extension cord (14 gauge), and has surge protection. In addition, the Amazon product has both of the appropriate/expected UL certifications (UL 1363 for relocatable taps - since the cord and receptacles are NOT molded together - and UL 1449 for surge protective devices) [UL Product IQ [ulprospector.com]].
It should also be considered problematic that the Anker product is listed under UL 817 [certipedia.com] (extension cord) and not UL 1363 (relocatable taps). UL 817 would normally be restricted to cords with a molded in connector (like an orange garage cable, or the typical white/brown lamp extension cord you might use behind a sofa with 3 outlets at the end). [CPSC [cpsc.gov]]
TLDR: Buy another USB charger which can consistently deliver the power level you seek (either high power fast charging or slow/overnight charging).
Good luck!
