Best Multi-port USB Travel Chargers UK – intelligent and fast charging stations
I am sure you have dealt with the mess that is, cables and adapters for the different mobile devices, tablets, e-readers, smartphones, cameras, power banks and now, smart watches. Charging multiple devices at times can be also be a nightmare, as we hunt high and low for any free wall socket, one for each device. Then there is the matter of traveling.
Packing your chargers for travels is another hair raising experience, granted that some of these chargers are small but do think of the adapters you will need for the e-reader, tablet, camera, travel battery charger, Bluetooth headphones, wireless speakers and smartphone.

What if all of that can be resolved with a simple multi-port USB charging station. All you would need then is to make sure that you have the different USB cables with mini-USB, micro-USB, lightning or any proprietary connectors. Some travel chargers come with interchangeable International travel adapter. Quickly swap the plug end with the destination country making it compatible with the wall socket there. An example of this is the Anker USB PowerPort 4 Lite Plug Charger seen above.
With so many different makes and models, it can be confusing when choosing a USB charger.
We recommend choosing one based on the number of devices you have. Do not forget to add that of your partner or little ones.
Often there is no need to charge all devices at the same time so the safest bet would be to allocate one or two ports per user while taking the number of devices into consideration.
There should be enough ports to charge the at the very least the smartphones simultaneously.
