Review on 🔌 Ultimate Power Solution: BESTEK 40W 8A 5-Port USB Charging Station with Surge Protection and 2-Outlet Power Strip by Bryan Gilliam

I love the weight of this item. It charges very quickly when only 1 device is connected, however I have found that when more devices are connected there is a lot of momentary discharge from other connected devices. For example, if you're connecting a Raspberry Pi, connect your phone. , the Pi will reboot. It looks like they could have added a capacitor or some other design element that could have prevented this. So. Don't use it to power your Raspberry Pi, as that's the kind of power surge that has been known to ruin an SD card. The biggest minus is also the biggest plus. If you charge your device with too much current, the battery does not store electrons as much as with slow charging, so a phone that normally runs all day suddenly becomes completely discharged within a few hours. Criticism aside, this is a great $20 charger. I wouldn't pay more if I was a rebuy. I think it's the perfect addition to my playroom for visitors to plug in and charge quickly, but I wouldn't use it for your everyday devices.
