More and more things these days come with USB charging cables, instead of plugs; in theory making it easier to charge devices from your lap top or a USB plug adapter. The trouble is I have so many things that are charged up by USB, that I often have to wait for one to charge, just so I can unplug it and charge something else. Aukey have got the perfect solution for this problem a USB charger that lets you plug 5 things in at the same time to simultaneously charge them.

​

Even though this is a functional piece of equipment, thought has gone into the appearance; rather than just having the normal gloss white plastic, this multi-charger has a nice pearlescent white finish. I’m not very good on technology, but this charger has a special chip inside it that intelligently detects the input current of the connected devices to maximise both compatibility and charging speed (up to 2.4 amps each port); meaning that no matter which port you connect your device to it’ll be charged at the optimum speed. Also the circuit is designed with over-heated, over-current, over-charging protection, so you don’t have to worry because charging will be automatically stopped when battery is full.

​

Even though it has 5 charging ports, at only 9cm x 6cm, the charger isn’t much bigger than a credit card, meaning it’s fairly inconspicuous when it’s out and definitely neater than a 5 plug traditional extension lead would be. The charger is powered by a mains plug and has an 80cm lead, making it easy to plug in. I’d definitely recommend this; it’s great being able to charge up a few things at the same time, something like this can make life so much easier and the 2yr warranty is good for extra peace of mind.
