This powerful 100W GaN II charging station is a massive 40% off ahead of the holidays
Unclutter your desk without breaking the bank
There was a time when going on a short vacation meant carrying a variety of charging adapters and cables to power up our devices. But thanks to the emergence of USB-C, this is no longer the case. Let's not forget the plethora of fast charging adapters out there that can recharge your phones (and laptops) in double quick time. But what if you need to charge more than one device at a time, say around four?
Electric vehicles have several advantages, including zero emissions, lower operating costs, better performance, and the convenience of charging them at home. However, most come with a range of about 300 miles or less, which may not be enough to travel long distances. Still, it's possible to recharge your battery along the way, but doing so requires more planning than simply stopping to refuel.
Charge 7 of your devices at once with this discounted Anker power station
Streamline your charging experience for $49
When Albert Einstein insinuated that a clean, empty desk is a sign of vapidity, he failed to consider folks from the future with multiple devices and would go stir-crazy with an unkempt workspace overrun with cables, dongles, and adapters. But he's not entirely wrong, though. A cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind indeed, but we like to keep the mess at a minimum, thank you very much.

But why subject yourself to all that trouble when you can streamline your charging experience with a versatile power strip? This deal on the Ugreen 65W is too good to pass up.

If you've never had an electric car, you might not know that there are multiple charging connectors used by different makers - Nissan's vehicles use CHAdeMO, BMW and VW use CCS, Tesla uses its own proprietary connector, and so on. Google Maps added the ability to search for charging stations earlier this year, and now you can filter results based on what type of plugs are available.
One of the great benefits of Arlo's Ultra and Pro 3 smart security cameras is that they don't need to be plugged into an outlet to record the things happening in and around your yard. On the flip side, these products rely on rechargeable batteries that will inevitability need to be juiced up from time to time. Today, you can snag yourself an extra Arlo rechargeable battery, a dual charging station, and a solar panel charger, all for 20% off on Amazon.Arlo offers just about everything you would need to keep your security cameras powered up and ready to spring to life at a moment's notice.

The optional Arlo Dual Charging Station lets you keep multiple batteries charged and ready to be swapped out. If you'd rather not deal with rechargeable batteries at all, the Arlo Solar Panel Charger can also keep your cameras topped off all by itself, as long as your home gets a steady helping of sunlight.

Did you get a new gadget this Christmas? Maybe it was a new Android smartphone, a Chromebook, a smartwatch, some earphones, other miscellaneous accessories like a 360-degree camera, or even a new iPad Pro. If you're scratching your head trying to figure out what to charge those new gadgets with, without taking up every wall outlet in the house, then we have just the deals for you. Aukey has discounted several of its wall chargers on Amazon, dropping their price anywhere from $7 to $17.I know you're here for the discounts so I will get to them right away:
You probably have at least a few power strips laying around, and maybe a phone dock or USB charging station too. This... thing from Bestek is all three combined. Now you can get it for just $16 on Amazon with a coupon code.Let's go over exactly what this does first. It plugs into a normal wall socket (completely covering it) and gives you six surge-protected outlets. On top of that, there are four USB Type-A ports at the top with a shared 5.2A current. Finally, the top of the unit is a charging dock, with included adapters for microUSB and Apple Lightning ports. It's worth noting that Artem has one, and definitely recommends it.As neat as this is, there are a few drawbacks. Obviously there are no USB Type-C ports anywhere, or a Type-C adapter for the charging dock. There is also no QC quick charging on any of the available USB ports. If you don't care too much about those, you can buy this on Amazon from the link below - just don't forget to use code VQVLQYVR at checkout.Source: Amazon
I have a lot of devices. Currently on my desk, you'll find the following: Nexus 5, Nexus 6, Nexus 6P, Nexus 7, Nexus 9, Pixel C, Blu Vivo 5, Huawei Honor 5X, and a Blu Life One X…and that goes without mentioning everything that's on the bookcase beside my desk. I never know which one I'll need on any given day, so it's imperative that they're all juiced up all the time.Now, I realize that my situation is uncommon for one person, but I don't think it's uncommon for a family to have multiple devices — aside from my slew of devices, my wife has a phone and tablet, my oldest son has a phone and tablet, and my youngest son has like four tablets. And they all have to be charged up.For that, you have a couple of choices: use roughly every outlet in the house to charge stuff, or — probably the better option — get a charging station. I've reviewed a couple of different charging stations in the past, but I was especially interested in TYLT's Energi Charging Station ($80) because of the compact design and removable 3,200 mAh battery pack — such a great idea. The company started the project on Indiegogo, where it did very well, and now it's out for the masses.
How many devices is your power outlet powering? Not enough, right? Here's the thing—you don't need to have your phones, tablets, external battery packs, Bluetooth speakers, wireless headphones, smartwatches, fitness bracelets, and wireless mice all take turns charging. With a large enough USB hub, you can power all of them at once.The question then becomes determining the correct number of ports. How's ten sound? Yeah, I thought so. Unitek's 10-port USB charging station currently goes for $60, but you can bring that down to $38 by using the coupon code KVVZAR46 at checkout.
If you want to charge all the things in one spot, you're probably going to need more USB ports. Today we've come across an Anker 40W USB charging station rocking five of them. We previously pointed one of these out back at the beginning of this year, and this model is just like that one, only better. Rather than 25W, we're looking at 40.Since this model spits out more juice, the price is slightly higher. Instead of $19.99, it's going for .99. But there's a way to bring that number right back down to 20 bucks. Just enter the coupon code 20DF7105 at checkout to knock $6 off the price.
Sometimes you just need to charge everything you own at the same time. And when that happens, you have two options: a cluster of cables all in one place, or cables tethered to wall warts all over the house. Personally, I strongly dislike both of these options. I need the organization in my life.
Like most technology blogs, Android Police is decentralized. Our writers and editors work out of their homes, and occasionally in hotels, bars, or under bridges. We have no traditional office. But if we did, the Yubi 40-port USB Power Tower would sit proud in the middle, like some kind of plastic altar to electricity. We would come, bow down to the Tower, offer up our unworthy phones and tablets, and humbly take our blessings of sweet, sweet gadget juice.

You know what I can't stand about packing to stay away from home? Having to bring 40 different chargers to power all of my gadgets.

Could this finally be the end to my age-old quandary?
