The 5-Port Smart USB Charger is a well specified USB charger that includes a built in QI wireless charging pad.
In the box you will find the charger, a power lead and user guide. The charger measures in at 70mm x 100mm and sits 37mm tall. It is made from two tone plastic, feels very sturdy and looks well finished, weighing in at 200g.
On the front there are a total of five USB ports and above these is a blue LED to indicate power. The ports are not labelled as they can all output up to 2.4A. All ports are classed as Smart which means they adapt to the connected device and provide the fastest charging speed they can offer. On the rear is the connection for a standard two core figure of 8 (C7) power lead which is supplied. The charger sits atop a thin rubber strip to prevent slipping.
The total output of this charger is 10A meaning you can use all five USB ports for charging at the same time with minimal impact on charge time for the attached devices. You could charge four iPad Airs concurrently at full speed or three along with a couple of iPhones.
The added bonus is the integrated charging pad on top that can wirelessly charge QI-enabled devices which include such devices as the Samsung Galaxy 6 range, Nexus 4, 5, 6 & 7, Nokia Lumia models and various other compatible devices.
In use, this is a small, unassuming box that looks tidy on a desk and gives ample USB power for the power users out there - no pun intended. In this day and age, it seems almost a necessity and I have no hesitation in recommending the 5-Port USB Charger from EC Technology. Being QI enabled is the icing on the cake for users with compatible equipment and just adds to the value.
