USB charger useful purchases. How to choose the charger for a mobile device or e-book

We live in a century of a variety of gadgets or devices, who, as you like to call. Smartphones, tablets, e-books and textbooks, smart watch, fitness bracelets, portable audio systems, headsets, battery packs - the overwhelming majority of these devices are charged from USB port. Now even razors and children's toys can be charged from USB port. A person who has only one smartphone or in general normal phone, it is possible to immediately classify the saints. In many modern families, there is a whole zoo of devices that require periodic charging.

Solve the problem of charging multiple devices at the same time will help multiports USB charger. I assure these scandals to teach your gadgets to good behavior. Sit comfortably ...


There are several classes of such devices. One of them is desktop charger. The feature of this class is that the device is connected to the outlet with network cableand not inserted into the outlet. This is a very useful and indispensable thing in the house. Today I will tell you with all the details about several desktop chargers from the most popular brands. Be prepared for the fact that after reading the review, you want to give one of the devices to your new year.

Today in the review we have 4 devices from the most popular desktop manufacturers: TRONSmart. TS-UC5PC, Orico. CSA-5U, Blitzwolf. 40W 5-Port Desktop Charger, Aukey. PA-U25.


In fact, devices had to be five. But the company Ankerwhich makes quite popular charging, refused to provide the device, saying that the Russian market is not interesting to them, and the reviews are not needed.

FROM Aukey. A funny story also came out. Contact now I could not have any ways (for reference, devices under the Aukey brand are produced on the same factory as TRONSmart). Alone ordered the AUKEY PA-T1 model from one of the sellers on Aliexpress.

Delivery of this device occupied a lot of time, and it retired a review time. Finally, the device was obtained ... To my surprise inside the parcel turned out to be the device Aukey PA-U25, and not PA-T1. On my quite logical question With a set of obscene vocabulary, the Chinese seller replied: "Dude, yes what the difference is also an excellent charging station." Because I order many different things in China, it did not surprise me, there are different cases, I only laughed and opened the dispute. But what is, that is, I will use the PA-U25 model in the review.

We will consider and test devices on the household level so that the review is easy to understand. I will not disassemble the devices (for at least two devices on the network are available photos of the internal device).


Several load modules with a USB connector (they consist of two resistors with a dispersion capacity of 10 W each), load 1 A or 2 A (in reality about 0.95 A and 1.9 A). Several different testers: KCX-017 are the most common, KWS-10VA to connect two load modules, an unknown model of Keweisi with support for 9 V. Pyrometer. Multimeter. Set of different cables and adapters.

Foreign noise

We will check for hearing whether the device publishes any sound with load and without load.


All testers are simple household appliances, they have a significant measurement error, especially when the current increases. We will spend the same measurements several times, different testers, and then take the average value.

The task of this test is to determine the failure in the load of the charger. The less failure, the better. Test will be carried out in several stages:

  1. Load one port with a load module (2 A). Each port is checked.
  2. Load two ports. Combinations of different ports are checked.
  3. Load three ports. Combinations of different ports are checked.
The total current of the current at the maximum load of 7.6 A. Voltage 4.97 V and above will be equated to 5 V and we will assume that there is no failure.

Smart charging

First, using a multimeter under load, check, on which ports are closed DATA contacts. For the overwhelming majority of devices that support fast chargingIt is enough to contact the DATA contacts. The charge controller sees and increases consumption current strength.

Secondly, there are some devices that need not simply closed DATA contacts, and a special blockage on these contacts, with which the device determines the "native" charging. The most common example is Apple devices. This support will be checked with using iPad., measuring current strength.

There are still different modern technologies Fast charging, for example, Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0. But today we will not affect them, at least one of the charging devices (TRONSmart) has one port with support for this technology.

Operating temperature and smell when heated

We connect to the charger 5 ordinary devices with close to 0 charge level (before each test device is discharged). After 20 minutes with a pyrometer measuring the temperature of the housing in different points. Check the presence of outsiders from heating.


Phantom Pages

Sub-quality chargers can cause the appearance of phantom (spontaneous) presses on the screen of a smartphone or tablet, the reasons may be several. In my covers found an ancient tablet, which is very arrogant in the charger. And at any convenient case, when something is wrong with charging, it begins to demonstrate circus views with spontaneous pressures. We will check with this tablet.

Cutlech / power limit

Because All devices are very powerful, you need to check how they behave if on a separate port to submit a load exceeding the permissible. We will consume a current of strength 4a (in reality 3,8а) 10 seconds. Because The tester can measure the current strength up to 3.5 A, then its readings may be erroneous, but it is not fundamentally (the main thing is to determine the cut-off). Ideally, the protection must work, and the port or device must be temporarily disconnected. If there is no cut-off, in certain cases, all the power of the charger rushes through a thin cable to the charging device. Yes, and the charger itself will not last. At least such cases are single and are associated with a short circuit or malfunction of the charging device, but the consequences are not the most pleasant.

TRONSMART TS-UC5PC

Equipment

In the box are: Charger, power cord, Micro-USB cable 1.8 m., Velcro for laying the cable, summary. In my micro-USB review cables, this cable has already met, it is very good quality.

On one of the ends are 5 USB ports. 4 ports with support for Voltiq technology is the branded name of the fast charging from TRONSMART, i.e. Data contacts are closed through a special strapping, which allows some devices (mainly devices from Apple) to consume a current of maximum power. The maximum strength of the current for each of the ports 2.4 A. The total current for all four ports of 7.2 A. 1 port, it has a blue "tongue", with the support of Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 technology. This is a device from Qualcomm, which allows you to use voltage 5, 9 and 12 V if the charging device supports it (with each day of such devices more and more). Maximum current for this port 2 A.

I did not want to take a lot of charging with me on a trip, look for additional outlets in hotels, especially in the train, where the nest is hiding at the toilet with a 220V, and it is permanently occupied. Instead of five charges, I took one but tricky.

Before moving to a short review, I'll tell you why I needed to charge so much gadgets at once. On the trip, I took three smartphones (two main and spare), a bluetooth headset to listen to music and talking without hands, a small pocket external battery in addition to the powerful PowerGorilla battery and smart bracelet Jawbone up. At some point I drag with myself and the iPad. "Gorilla", this big batterymay charge anything, but is equipped with only one USB port. I wanted to correct this feature.

Now on the journey everyone takes a lot of electronics, and a lot is charging from USB - tablets, smartphones, navigators, some types of cameras, headsets, even a radio. I have somewhere even charging from USB for finger batteries lay.

SpidermonKey - Smart USB Hub, Designed charging only. I did not work with it to paralle the ports on the laptop to connect more devices. But, unlike conventional USB hubs, it is equipped with a powerful power supply and equipped with two ports "specifically for Apple's technique". It is understood that the first and second ports understand which apple device is connected to them, and give the corresponding charging current. Of course, you can charge through the first and second ports any other gadgets, including tablets, Cameras such as Sony Nex, External batteries, headsets, android devices and Windows Phone, readers and watch with electronic cuckoo.

The two remaining ports are ordinary, you can also charge any gadgets. The instructions noted that the fourth port is optimized for Nokia and always issues nutrition.

In a small box, comparable in size with boxing from the iPhone, a USB hub itself discovered, a power supply to it, adapters for the outlet of other countries, including American (forgot to photograph) and a small instruction. I did not find an adapter for the car, unfortunately, but it can be purchased separately.

The hub is made of metal, steady mechanical, but glossy and collecting prints (I somehow more or less sterling with liquid, and then photoshop, without special fanaticism). To be honest, I usually not pay attention to the gauge, the devices work, and do not bang on the shelf, I even wipe the smartphone screen.

On the one hand SpidermonKey uSB portsThey wrote about above, with another three nests for "energy delivery" - MiniUSB, the power supply socket (takes from 5 to 30 volts) and port for 5-volt food. You should not insert in them at the same time. You can charge four gadgets at the same time if the input is served from 12 volts. From above, there are 4 indicators that will burn at the same time if you can charge through all ports, or how many devices can be connected.

SPIDERMONKEY options have a lot - from a laptop or computer MicroUSB cable, from a standard power supply unit (11.7 watts - 9V x 1,3A), from the PowerGorilla power unit (36 watts - 16V x 2,3A), from the automotive on-board network by 12V or 24V. Most often I used the last option by connecting BP from PowerGorilla. Also, you can feed a hub from the Gorilla through a special adapter, having received five ports for charging gadgets.

During tests, I checked many different options. Charged from Spidermonkey immediately iPad, iPhone, small external battery and lenovo k900. Put for four charging different smartphones. Charged headset, bracelet and camera.

The most convenient use option, of course, along with PowerGorilla and a special adapter. In an airplane or train, it allows you to charge up to 5 gadgets at once, and the "Gorilla" containers are enough for not once to fill all devices. In the hotel, when PowerGorilla is connected to a 220V network, or in a car, when it feeds from the cigarette lighter, we get and charge the battery itself, and the power of gadgets.

The only moment - I want to get short-range wires somewhere for charging gadgets. Did anyone see such on sale? Universal "Snails" I have, I wear them to charge gadgets on the way, and I want exactly the set of a small length of the USB-microUSB cables, so that everything lay on the table is neat. Moreover, the microusb-iPad / iPhone adapters are on sale, you can not buy a separate cable for them.

And finally, about accessories and prices. Spidermonkey.

The charger is the thing is familiar, necessary and useful. To keep it at hand, many plug in the power adapter right in the workplace, near the monitor. Sometimes there are several devices, and then one device "waiting for" his turn, while the other restores the battery charge.

However, when charging devices a lot, chaos, confusion begins, and a feeling of disorder appears. In some offices, it is possible to observe the epic picture at all, when there are dozens of cables for charging all sorts of devices on a separate specifically dedicated place for this place. All this takes the space and creates confusion on the table. Compact device will help get rid of this problem PowerDock 5,allows you to easily organize a mass charging of five devices.

It is a compact station for charging multiple devices simultaneously. Using PowerDock 5, you can charge up to five iPhone, iPad or iPod, and if they asbatrate from apple-subjects, then in general five of any devices. Multi for charging resembles a flat hub. On the side are five uSB connectors. Charged devices are located vertically, in special compartments of PowerDock 5. Transparent walls of partitions of compartments make a charging station similar to the storefront of the store (especially when devices are charged). The size of the charging station is selected in such a way that any charging device, whether it is an iPod, iPhone or iPad, look in the compartment harmoniously - do not lose and fall out. Large tablet PCs are slightly protruding, and the tiny iPods do not take a little in the compartment to the edges of the multi-way.

Decides that the manufacturer did not take care of including a set of five cables in the delivery. Ordinary adapters can be long, and in this case it would be logical to use short cables that would gently connected devices with a charging station.

The station has pretty good charge power - up to ten watts. For each of the five ports, the device provides voltage five volts (standard USB bus value) and current strength up to 2.1 A.

In principle, at this station you can charge any gadgets compatible with the above parameters. It is only necessary to take into account that the charge time at the station may differ from the "native" values \u200b\u200bin the serviceport. A luminous indicator over each port signals the availability of the station to charge smartphones, players and tablets.

Beautiful appearanceCompact sizes and lack of disorder on the table - in our opinion, these are convincing arguments in favor of buying such an accessory. But the price of hundred bucks and the lack of cables are forced to think about buying.

If you remember, when only began to appear cell phonesEach manufacturer has equipped the device with a unique charger and connector for it.

Such a tendency incredibly complicated the life of users, as they had to carry several charges with them. Now, almost all manufacturers of smartphones equipped their tablets and smartphones by USB charger.

Now users have only a problem with the absence of the necessary number of USB connectors, but this problem is easily solved. We present to your attention the most universal USB hubs.
