JEEMAK 6 Port USB Charging Dock Review

Nice solid charging station, I needed something to charge and tidy up the multitude of mobile devices scattered round my house being charged in various sockets, there is also often the ‘have you taken my charging lead’ sound echoing round on a daily basis and I wanted something to help stop this.

I had a look at quite a few of these and the main thing putting me off with most was they didn’t supply the leads and I didn’t want a nice and tidy charge station with 6 different length leads coming from it making it look a mess, this one provided the leads in an ideal mix of a couple of Apple leads, three micro USB and a USB-C lead ideal for my GoPro.

It arrived in a branded box with a plastic insert containing the charge station, leads, a UK plugged lead and also a 2 pin lead, the quality is really nice and the whole unit has a good weight to it with a solid base so no chance of it toppling over. I tested it with a Fire tablet, Android phone, two iphones and an Acer android tablet all of which slotted into the unit nice and neatly charging as they should.

I have added a short video and will also add some pictures showing unboxing, connecting the leads up and then connecting the devices I mentioned, I also connected up my GoPro Hero 5 which sat in front of the unit and charged fine but couldn’t show it in the video as I used it to record.

VIVIS 15000mAh Power Bank Built-in Micro USB Cable Review

Good solid power bank that looks great and has some nice features, I purchased this for my wife as she is constantly on either one of her phones or ipad and wanted something that would give a power boost to any or all of these. This arrived in a brown sleeved box with the main unit being packed into a solid foam cut out to protect it, under this it had the charge lead, instruction manual, a draw string carry bag and a iphone/ipad adapted.

The power bank is a very nice design and very well finished with gold running round the edge against the black leather type effect outer case, I like the inbuilt micro USB cable which doubles as a phone holder once you pull it out, the addition of the draw string carry case is nice and it’s not just a cheap feeling bag thrown in it’s of very nice quality and useful for carrying round.

After I had opened it all up I put it on charge and read through the manual, very basic and simple manual as you would expect giving you all the information you need, once it was fully charged I gave it a test charging my Android phone from 5% and my daughter’s ipad mini from 2% simultaneously. I was very impressed with the charge time and it still had enough left to top up my iphone 6 from 33% to 100%.

My wife loves it and without wanting to sound sexist it has a very feminine or at least bling look to it rather than just being a basic block with slots, it is apparent a lot of thought and care has gone into design. I have added a short video and will also add some pictures showing unpacking and then after it was charged setting my Android phone on charge and fitting the apple adapter and putting my iphone 6 on charge, please note my original video is of high quality but the video quality often degrades considerable when uploaded but hopefully not too much.

• Newest Upgrade Version 15000mAh Power Bank,built in Micro USB cable and Lightning Connector and eliminate the need for additional cables, giving you incredible portability. Also support Phone Stand Holder function, could play and charing simultaneously very conveient. 5 charges for your iPhone 6, 3 charges for Samsung Galaxy S6, the iPad mini 1.5 charges

Maximum 3A 2 USB output ports charge faster than the original charger, Super-fast charge.
• The External Battery Pack bulit-in Pure Co Li-Polymer Core, more than 1000 times recycle use, which is twice of the common core( less than 500 times )

Dual USB universal travel charger

Wanted a new travel plug and it seemed sensible to get one that would work pretty much anywhere.

 

Since the vast majority of things I plug in these days are for USB charging, this one caught my eye.

Dual USB, with one charging at a higher rate than the other,

Capable of operating in the UK, EU and USA

Extremely simple to swap out the different plug fittings.

 

 

I tested this with my mobile phone and Ecig. Both charging at the same time and on all 3 plugs and it worked brilliantly 

I'm really pleased with this nifty little charger. It has an extremely small footprint too, so will slip into a suitcase/bag corner with no trouble.

OTISA Lightning Cable 3Pack 5ft/1.5M iPhone Charger Cable

My daughter can be really heavy handed with leads either yanking them out or playing while charging and stretching and breaking the lead and I have lost count of the ones she has broken, my wife tends to just lose hers and steal mine. I have purchased original replacement leads from Apple before at a cost of £25ish but worst of all they really are as cheap as they can make them so I'm paying over the top for poor quality with a very limited choice it's really annoying.

These are ideal the cord is 1.5 meters (5ft) which is great but they are also really nice quality with the wrapping to the lead very similar to the wrapping you get on old iron cables for anyone old enough to remember them and with three in the pack I can spread them round the house.

The most important question I ask when getting a lead for an Apple product is ‘Will it charge?’ as I have purchased several non-authentic leads for iphone, ipad etc only to find they won’t charge even though they claim they do, I am pleased to say this does charge as I have tested it with an ipad air, iphone 6s and an iphone 5 all charging and all on the very latest firmware updates which only updated two days ago.

• Reliable Warranty - OTISA Unconditional Lifetime Technical Support, 24-month Warranty. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to contact us! Customer service mailbox: service@otisalive.com.
• Ultra Durability - Nylon fiber cloth jacket encases the OTISA iPhone charger sturdily, which make it have excellent anti-twisting & abrasion-proof property.
• Small connector plug design: Mini aluminum-constructed alloy connector make OTISA lightning cable distinguished from the common iPhone cable, which may have sloppy, crooked or loose connectors.
• Perfect compatibility - Ideal lightning cable for Apple devices with 8 Pin connectors like iPhone 7/7 Plus, iPhone 6s Plus/6s/6 Plus/ 6, iPhone SE/5s/5/5c, iPad Pro / iPad Air / Air 2 / iPad mini / mini 2 / mini 4 / iPad 4th gen / iPod Touch 5th gen / iPod Nano 7th gen.
• Fast Charge & Sync - 1.5m/5Ft (OD3.5mm) OTISA 8 pin Nylon Braided iPhone lightning cable with anti-resistant aluminum alloy connectors, perfect compatibility to transmit data stably and fast charging.

Techstick USB 8-port Fast Charging Station

Nice compact, 8 ports, stylish design what’s not to like. I have a multitude of devices that need USB charging and with a wife, 2 children at home and USB ports always being fought over and in short supply I thought this a nice addition.

It has a very nice feature of an LCD display of how the charge is progressing I haven’t seen that before and certainly very handy, it is a very compact size, lightweight and has a decent length power cable which I find useful as I have a lot of low sockets I need to trail from to a viable position.

What I liked
************
- 8 ports
- UK plug not a UK plug adaptor as many have when making that claim
- LCD power indicator
- Very compact and lightweight
- Protective circuit to prevent overcharging
- Plug and go no messing about
- Good length power cable

What I Didn’t Like
*******************
- Nothing I have found so far but if I do I will edit and add

Very nice USB charger with plenty of ports and a nice LED display can’t fault it and would recommend it.

Universal Intelligent Multifunction LCD Battery Charger

What a clever charger this is.
Nicely presented and comes with a detachable uk mains plug lead, plus a car cigarette lighter adapter.
Although written in Chinenglish, the instructions are simple to follow.
Upon switch on, the LCD screen is bright and easy tor read and displays voltage, charging current, charging time and battery type, but will switch to a power saving mode (screen goes dim) if left unattended for 30 seconds.

It's also capable of charging in 2 modes in either slot: 500mA and 1000mA, which you switch by simply pressing the relevant button above each battery dock. A longer press (10 seconds) allows you to switch between L-ion and LiFe P04 batteries
The negative battery poles are spring loaded, so will accept any pencil shaped battery and keep them in the device by tension alone.
This offers a distinct advantage over the usual chargers, as generally they are type specific, although I do have one which will take either AA or AAA batteries.

I tested this with an AAA battery and an 18650 battery from my e-cigarette mod box. Not only did the charger accept and begin to charge both, but also identified the battery type,(1 being NiMH, the other, L-ion).
The device charged the AAA in about two hours, the 18650 in 4 hours. The device is capable of charging a single battery also.

Very nice item.
