Charging station.

[Beardy]

I’m trying to sort out a charging station, mainly to keep the good doctor happy wrt cables and the like. I have a number of battery chargers and a usb power unit that all take an iec c7 and obviously at low current.

Does anyone know of a power distribution solution that doesn’t require a 13 amp 3 pin plug on the end of each cable or is it going to be DIY with lots of wego?

IEC C13 power strip and an assortment of C14 to C7 cables?

I use anker 6 way USB psu. I have one in the kitchen, one in the bedroom and 3 in the office (they are really useful for powering Raspberry PI clusters). The first two have natty little bamboo stands that the phones/tablets etc slot into to hold them during charging. The office ones are as nature intended

Anker do a range of powered hubs with varying numbers of USB charge ports.   I am a fan of Anker powerbanks and can testify as to their robustness and quality in the hands of a clumsy bear.

Another +Anker here.

Decide:

- if you want a USB C socket (you can still use a USB-A -> USB-C, but that means sorting a cable you may not have)
- What fast charge compatibility you want
- How many ways you want. If more ways is important, you may have to compromise on the first two
- if you want to plug straight into a socket, or you don't mind/want a mains lead

Ravpower are equally good and worth a look, too.
