This should suffice. Just get a travel adapter and hook this baby up.

Suggest to take Aukey vs Anker. Much cheaper and has better spec.

Aukey is an Anker copycat. Go for it at your own risk.

I did a mini project Energy a couple of years back.

Do not mind some of the pictures were missing due to crap photobucket. But overall the final verdict is there with the usual wattage graph.

Although the devices are no longer relevant, but the theory stays the same.

Multi port chargers have their own chip inside to detect what kind of devices are attached to it and provide the best charging solution for the device. Not all multi port charger charges the same way. Some might be slower, some might be faster. But in all they dont differ that much these days.

Most importantly is that the charger chip inside could detect your device properly and deliver the best charging rate for it.

With current trend of Qualcomm Quick Charge and USB PD charging technology on most of the devices out there. One should know what type of multi port charger they are looking for.

There are a few things you need to know before you buy....

1. How many devices are you going to charge at any 1 point of time?
2. Is this just for your own usage or a place for your family to use it.
3. Out of all the devices, how many are Qualcomm Quick Charge, PD, Huawei Supercharge, and other fast charging technology?
4. Lastly budget.

So it really depends on your usage. If you can answer all the 4 questions above. Then may be i can recommend you some brands out there.

1. Likely 2 mobile phones, 1 powerbank, 1 camera
2. For me and family
3. 2 devices. Samsung note 9 and iphone xs
4. <$60

If portability is a concern, you can go for tronsmart 48w 3pin charger.

https://s.lazada.sg/s.b1P0

OR

The Aukey PA-T18

https://s.lazada.sg/s.b0yr



Tronsmart is smaller. But it has a USB PD to fast charge your iPhone XS. The other Qualcomm Quick charge for your Note 9.

The Aukey on the other hand has more ports, but lacks a USB PD. So there will be no fast charge for your iPhone XS. But you got 1 Quick Charge port for your note 9. But you got more flexibility like more USB A ports to charge more devices.
