First time listing a bargain!

Found this little gem while looking for some Seasol at Bunnings; it's a 'travel' adaptor but really it's just a multi output USB charging device. It's capable of charging 5 simultaneous devices drawing a maximum current of 7Amps.

Supports:
2x fixed Android/iOS 'IQ' ports (Up to 5V/2.4A basically. Similar tech to Power3S, PowerIQ, VoltIQ found in the Chinese chargers);
2x 2.4 Amp outlets for tablets, etc., and;
1x 1 Amp outlet.

Obviously, the device has a multitude of uses. It's actually small enough to conveniently be used for traveling (no mains cord, the device looks like and plugs into the mains outlet like a big 'wall wort'). I bought two - cheap Raspberry Pi power supplies and can always use another USB charger!

Bought from Carrum in Victoria - best to ring your local store for stock.

Enjoy

      It is a clearance line with no mention/indication of this product on the Bunnings website (I checked). I would assume it's nation wide but obviously dependent on local stock (which I recommend you check).

      • dufflover on 20/10/2017 - 14:11

        Unless someone has more verification I always assume these clearance stickers are NOT nationwide. Bunnings stores have heaps of variation when it comes to clearance items.

        Unfortunately not as the Switch charger is 15V/2.6A iirc. A USB-PD charger with a Type-C to Type-C cable would be the best charger for it. You'll have a lot of trouble finding one of those locally.

    Had the black generic version of this a fair while ago… I think via an OzBargain deal back in the day. Worked fine but the friggin' blue light is bright enough to light up a large room! Great if you want a night light but not so good if you value complete darkness.

    • pw2002au on 20/10/2017 - 14:06

      Electrical tape is your friend :) But agree the led on these are bright.

      • SteveAndBelle on 20/10/2017 - 14:10

        Yeah, Electrical Tape is usually a good solution however the blue LEDs on these light up the clear plastic around the sockets so using tape is possible but it'd take a fair bit of effort to cover the whole area properly. Probably easier to disassemble and snap the LEDs off the PCB or tape over them at the board level.

        • t3chshopper on 26/10/2017 - 14:17
          +1

          Haha. I know that pain. Bought a pedestal fan at BigW for less than $10. The whole assembly on the post that housed the buttons lit up at night. I have covered it with electrical tape, and there are still light leaks.

        • INFIDEL on 29/10/2017 - 20:46
          +1

          Light output is so much less than I expected from reading comments. I think some may have different model.

          LEDs are likely SMD, so difficult to remove. As they are positioned between USB ports, may be difficult to access. Plus opening case may be difficult, damage it & void warranty. Not worth the bother.

          I just cut 2 thin slices of black electrical tape, & positioned these between the USB ports over the 2 LEDs. Light bleed through the case is barely noticeable. This can be reduced with a strip of white electrical tape on the case, which is barely noticeable.

          Very little light now shows & is further reduced when cables are inserted. In complete darkness, there is just a subsued blue glow.

          Writing this took many times that of solving the blue light issue.

    • billy_bob on 20/10/2017 - 14:19

      Surely a small piece of sticky tape could fix this ;)

    • Nitrous on 20/10/2017 - 15:46

      Thanks, it’s useful to know this. I hate all the leds lighting up the room at night.

    • INFIDEL on 29/10/2017 - 21:00

      Bought this - not the issue of lighting up room with this model. Light output was further reduced with 2 tiny pieces of electrical tape.

  • philart on 20/10/2017 - 14:26

      • philart on 20/10/2017 - 14:29

    This seems a clone or very similar to a Korjo one I once bought at Dick Smith. It also had a Ridiculous blue light which if I'd known about I wouldn't have bothered. It didn't really matter though… it only lasted one night, got incredibly hot whilst charging only a couple of devices and was dead the next morning. We were possibly lucky it didn't catch fire. Personally I would just stick with traditional chargers and a plug adapter.

      • goldiep on 20/10/2017 - 15:58
        +1

        There are engineering controls to minimise issues like this, as noted in the instructions. This includes overload protection which prevents the charger outputting in excess of 7 Amps.

        I would imagine most/all chargers get warm, particularly due to the characteristics of switch mode power supplies. I wouldn't be too worried; there is no recall and the items are sold through a reputable Australian seller. Can't really claim those items purchasing something for a similar specification and price from eBay. Still, I'll test tonight and post my thoughts.

        I think they might be a different/new revision compared to those mentioned? The one I plugged in at home only had two blue LEDs that are very dim. My always on display probably had the same radiated light in comparison. Again, I'll check with the lights out.

        • goldiep on 20/10/2017 - 23:27

          I tested this today with Bluetooth wireless headphones charging in addition to an iPad Air 2 and my LG V20. The charger was barely warm (the LG was the earnest device).

          Took a picture of the unit with the lights off to show the LEDs. They are minimal brightness (I would say <25mCD). They were about the Dave brightness as the led on my girls phone that shows the phone is charging. I have taken a picture for reference and I'll try to look to it for reference.

      I've had the same experience with my equivalent 'clone' emitting a burning smell and getting very hot with multiple devices. This link doesn't give much cred to this possible version of charger both from a safety perspective and for your device. (I know there are hundreds of variations out there but it's good to be aware).
