Anybody have a recommendation for a tier 1 USB Charging station?
There's a million on Amazon and I've tried a few but am sick of crappy ones. Looking for something like 8-10 USB A ports that can hand 4 Nintendo Switches, a tablet, a phone, headphones, Kindles, all that stuff. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! |

Anything made by Anker.

Anker has been my go-to, but 8-10 ports is a lot.

USB A?
 in all seriousness though. Anker is good. I've also been very pleased with the UGreen line off Amazon. The 300W brick is awesome for pumping 140W out for a laptop and fast charging from the other four ports. They also have a 200W brick that is six ports.

I have an Anker 543 Charger on my desk that has 4 ports. I think they sell them in a few different USB configurations. You could get two of them.
I don't think they have any really large USB splitters, and when they are larger they charge slower sharing the same wattage with more ports. |

Aside from Anker, look into uGreen, Baseus, and AOHI.
Personally, I would just buy Anker and be done with it. |

Get a couple of units with fewer ports - unless you absolutely need a single wall plug.

I bought this last Oct. Has worked pretty good for me. Individual ports that are switched. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C6LZ8MYW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

Not a power user but this hub works well for me powering a single board computer.

Easier to get several 65W USB-C with a USB-A port for $15 each.
That way you have a super charging upgrade path for notebooks and phones that are coming out now. Total of 150W blocks support 2 65W USB-C Ports and a couple USB-A ports (15-20W Max, no PD mode [power delivery]). Anker makes the best stuff if you want and I'd suggest getting all USB-C ports and several USB-C to USB-A Adapter cables for your legacy equipment since the USB A only supports up to 15W charging and not the USB-C 3.1 [email protected] 65W mode which notebooks are switching to for their charging port. |

This gave out just a day over the return policy expired.

I have Anker batteries that I’ve been using for years and they’ve been loaned out and gone on trips and are still kicking.
I also have a couple pairs of their soundcore ear buds that have been through hell and back and are still going strong. |

Good luck. I don't know of any multiple USB-C chargers. I like my Anker - but it is single usb-C. Switches kind of want USB-C charging speeds.

Anker of course, but also look into magnetic tip cables

I have the same problem, 3 kids, each with a tablet and Switch, plus two school chromebooks. My concern with most of the "charging station/rack" is that they won't survive my little Tasmania Devils.
My solution is I am going to repurpose a 1.5" thick cutting board and drill in dowel rods as spacer/vertical supports, mount the charger on the side and use paracord guts to tie all of the charging cords together and secure to the board to prevent them from disappearing (those things disappear faster than Halloween candy in our house). Basis for my idea  |

Cheap enough to put everywhere in the house and if the kids lose them then they don't get to charge their stuff. Put their initials on them in permanent marker and let them know if they lose it or take it where it will get stolen, they don't have one. 65W Fast Charge and 3.1 PD (Power Delivery)
