Trouble charging some devices at the same time

Product charges quickly and compactly, ideal for travel. The only problem I had is how it handles charging multiple devices. An additional device, the charger, seems to turn off charging for a moment and then turn it back on, and I suspect that the power is being redistributed between the devices. However, for some devices, disabling charging will also reset the charging of those devices, resulting in an infinite loop where one of the connected devices will pause charging, causing the charger to think the device has been disabled, causing the charger to then spin without turn off this device and charge it again, but then the device turns charging back on, so the charger turns charging on and off again to add this device. and gets stuck in a loop. Sometimes I can fix this by connecting the cells in a different order, but sometimes I can't - for example I have two battery packs that don't charge at the same time. But never had this problem with, say, a laptop and a phone. (Or laptop and whatever.)

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
