We’re far enough now into the age of the internet that the powers that be decided we must have internet access on everything we own. Phones? Sure. Our watches? Why not. Even our earbuds have cameras in them that connect to the internet for “reasons,” and with all these electronically power devices on our persons every day, the batteries die out rather quickly.
When sitting down at your desk during the day or late at night finally getting to hit the hay, first thing a lot of us do is empty our pockets and plug in everything small device we own. This can result in devices fighting over the same outlet, or just a cobweb of cables running out of a power strip.
The better move is to get a dedicated charging station that can handle all of your accessories at one. The Anker Prime charging station is a noteworthy option, and right now, Amazon happens to have it on sale for 30% off. This takes the price down form $80 to just $56, allowing you to save a good $24 for a limited time.
Charge 6 Devices at Once
The Anker Prime charging station can be your desktop or nightstand hero. It’s equipped with six separate ports that can be used to charge up to six devices simultaneously. The front end has two fast-charging USB-A ports along with four even-faster-charging USB-C ports. Individually, the USB-A ports are able to output at a rate of up to 22.5W. These are good for smaller accessories like your smartwatch or earbuds case. The four USB-C ports are each capable of outputting at a rate of 100W Max.
The figures change when you start using more than one port at once. It is in total able to 200W Max between all of them. The product page has an in-depth diagram for what the speeds with be for various combinations of four-port charging and six-port charging.
The real magic of this thing is that it can take your otherwise messy desktop and make it much more pleasant to be seated at. With all the devices plugged into the same convenient place, you can have better cable management and feel way less stress while working than you would if cables were going every which way.
Anker made its Prime charging station with safety as a priority. The charging station is designed to monitor its own temperature six million times per day. That’s 80 times a second. It can protect itself form high-voltage, short-circuiting, overheating, and more.
