Featured Comments

From the item description, the ports dynamically change their power outputs depending on how many devices are connected. Thats probably whats waking it up.
This is how these kinds of devices are supposed to work, especially with USB C, power delivery re-negotiation has to occur, because the device needs to determine how much power it should delivery every time new devices are plugged in.

For example, if you only use the USB C port, and that's the only thing plugged in (no USB ports are used), then the device would be able to delivery maximum power to whatever your device is asking for e.g. your ipad. If you have your ipad connected (presumably to the usb c port) and you plug an additional cable into the USB ports, you are actually limiting the power that leaves your USB C port when the device and the connected devices re-negotiate for power

In summary there is a total maximum power a port can potentially deliver, if and only if that is the only port being used by, in this case, a charger that has other ports (usb c, usb). If you read the back of this device it has more details about maximum power, volts/amps, but the average person doesn't really read this kind of stuff so its not necessary
That's pretty standard behavior for multi-port USB chargers (particularly those with PD) - charging rates get "renegotiated" when an additional device is added or removed.

What's the spacing like between the AC outlets on the back?

Neither the product pics on Amazon nor the many reviews with pics show this very well afaict.
you can literally see the spacing in the picture on this post.. it's not a direct photo of the back, but you can very clearly see the spacing via how far each of of the cables are spaced. it looks like there is almost 0 space which makes sense since this is supposed to be 'compact'

Been using this to charge items at my desk, as well as plug a light or two. Works well for what I do.

I literally can't see any such thing - from the mobile app anyhow. Anyhow, thanks for the information even if it was unnecessarily condescending.

I have two of these and the usb ports failed in both of them - it seems easy to overload this box? I was only using two of the USB ports and one of the AC ports to charge my laptop at the time. The box comes totally sealed so it is hard to see what happened inside. Good to use as a power strip maybe, but wouldn't recommend for the USB-A and C ports.

The third photo shows three cords plugged in, and they seem to be standard size and fit with just a few millimeters to spare. I wouldn't get this if one of the plugs you plan to put in are larger than standard size.

I own this and it's okay and I also own a bigger version of this. I will tell you that I have stopped traveling with these items and instead have just a normal multiport extension cord in my backpack, which I plug normal usb-c charging bricks into. Not only is it more compact, and that you get more ports, but they can also be higher wattage.

Which extension?

Yes, an electrically superior solution. 5 volt low wattage ac adapters are tiny, 100% reliable, compatible with nearly all USB devices, last for decades and only require light weight cables. Cost is only a buck or two apiece. Add one single port GaN cube to fast charge the phone and your set.

Timothy Jarvis' review: "Case is nice, internals are garbage". That sums it up. Multi-port from a single internal power source ceased being reliable once devices became interactive with smart voltage ports.

Cleaver tidy design solution for nightstand or desk: Conceal an ac power strip inside or underneath. Gather the cables. Make a cable entry in a small vase. Pull a cable out the top when needed. Everything is out of sight tangle-free when not in use. Individual chargers and cables are easily replaced as needed. Fast charge cables may be color-coded or marked. The power strip may be controlled by a smart plug. Recycles old reliable bulky chargers to keep them out of the waste stream. Less effort because the user no longer needs to connect both ends of the cable every time.

Cable management on this thing is hideous. Pictures just getting me angry, who keeps the power strip on their table?
Get a usb charging hub and just plug that in, hide the other cables

Search amazon for

Amazon Basics Indoor Extension Cord Power Strip - 6-Foot, 3-Prong ,Flat Plug, Grounded - 13 Amps

You can also get something similar, with AC ports on each side, for like $9-$14


IMHO its just a far superior setup then trying to combine everything into one unit like this. It packs down smaller, its cheaper, its more versatile, and I have 2 usb c chargers I bring that can each do 100 watts with 2 usb c ports and one usb a, so I have 6 total ports, vs like 3 here with only 1 30 watt usb c port.

A few pennies worth of low grade electronics. That's what's inside. People buy packaging. The best reason to buy this is if you wish to contribute to the islands of floating debris which have formed in the Pacific.

Belkin Boost silver QC4+ 27 watt adapter is the most advanced charger under 30 watts for non-PD USB devices but it also charges Type C PD. They can be found on ebay for under $10. Extremely durable and fast. Originally $50.
.
It has a Type C port which supports PD devices as well as legacy USB. I use their C to micro B cable to rapidly charge power banks and anything which has a micro B port

I use a C to C cable to charge phones and anything with a C port. It charges my Galaxy 10+ faster than anything else without damaging heat, QC 4+ technology constantly adjusts the voltage in tiny steps and controls amps to yield the fastest safe charge which keeps the battery healthy with the least wear.

I use this as an extension hub while traveling for our baby's sleeping setup.

We use a slumberpod tent over the pack & play. This helps power the baby monitor, a usb fan, and a sound machine.

Some hotels we've stayed, it's hard to find a convenient outlet for all of these. But this has been extremely helpful in minimizing cords & clutter everywhere.
