Choosing the best-designed USB charger: What to look for?
All of our devices such as
smartphones and tablets come with individual chargers. Having one cable for all
devices can help you minimize the clutter. Considering that a person owns more
than one electronic device, many outlets will be used to charge a phone,
tablet, and other devices.
One quick solution is to
have a power strip to accommodate all chargers. However, that is not a very
practical solution. Another way to reduce clutter and maintain efficiency is to
have a multi-port USB charger. Finding the best
USB charger is not hard. Just make sure to research the various features of
the product and know what you are looking for in a USB charger.
How to choose the right cable
Length
Take into consideration
where you will be charging most of the time. If you are charging on desktop,
car, nightstands, or other hard to reach areas, you will need a longer cable as
the case may be.
Connector types
There are different types
of USB connectors such as micro USB, lightning cable, and 30-pin USB cables.
Apple mainly uses lightning and 30-pin USB cables; while micro USB cables are
used by the majority of the electronic devices except for Apple.
Thickness
A thicker cable can charge
better than a thin cable. This should also be taken into consideration when choosing
a cable.
How to choose the best USB charger
Number of Ports
How many devices will you
be charging? When choosing the number of USB ports, it is best to choose more
ports. This way, you will not lack space in case there are more devices that
need charging at a given time. If you have two devices, choose a USB charger
that has more than two ports.
Charging speed
Each port may have a
different output. Find out if the charger supports fast charging. More ports
mean that the output tends to go down.
Surge Protection
The best USB charger
should have a good surge protection that even you are charging multiple
devices; your electronics are safe in case there's a power surge.
Charging Kits
Some USB chargers come in
kits such as a power cord and adapters that can be used when you are in the car
or at home.
Versatility
There are chargers that
work best when you are at home or at the office. There are also chargers that
are designed for those who are always on the go. Consider this when choosing a
good USB charger.
Light indicator
The best USB charger
should have a light indicator that can easily be seen when it is already fully
charged.
Design
A good USB charger is
designed in such a way that it will not take up the space of outlet beside it.
Choose a USB charger that does not block the space of other wall chargers.
