Product review: iClever® 50W 10A 6-Port USB Desktop Charger


The wall charger is very compact for being able to charge 6 things at the same time and it has a long AC cord with a regular size plug, so it takes up only one slot on the power strip. Its size is 3 7/8" x 2 3/4" x 1", its weight is 6.15 oz.

This charger is a "smart" charger, i.e. it has a chip that can figure out the optimal protocol to use for each device on any port. I tested this wall charger using a current monitor with my Android Nexus phone and iPad Mini. I ran my tests with each devices on every port while it was the only one charging, as well while the charger was charging four tablets and two phones. The charger did quite well especially for iPad Mini. It also remains fairly cool as it does the charging.

I am including the details of the tests below for those who like to see the technical details.
