Title: What do you use for a charging station?
Post by: Chako on January 26, 2019, 02:13:55 PM: I didn't like the rats nest of cables I had for my charging station area...so I looked online and found a nice 4 port charging station. Once it arrived, I took stock of what cables I had and decided that I would need much shorter cables. Got that sourced quickly enough (a bit expensive as everyone wants to sell you packages of 3 cables that are the same...go figure), and now I am quite happy. The dividers are removable and conveniently glow blue when the device in that port is charging. It is the perfect size for the following...

1. Cell phone
2. Samsung 10" tablet
3. 10" IPad
4. Smart watch

I am a bit curious to see what other folks on here use for their charging needs.

Next to my MacBook and on my nightstand there are Qi plates. Ik can charge my private phone, the iPhone, as well as my work phone, a Samsung S7.
Also have wireless charging in my car.
iPad is hanging on the wall, that's just always plugged in.

As for other things I have a 4 port charger that is in the kitchen that we all use :cheers:

It is an Aukey brand and looks like this stock image :tu:
