      infidel, that's so funny. Your comment was just a factual informative statement, and got such a highly up-voted reply lol.

    So this one has quick charge functionality?

    • aboabo on 14/03/2018 - 12:36

      Rapid = Quick.

      • spaceflight on 14/03/2018 - 12:46

        No, Quick Charge is a technology solution that is not just charging with a higher current.

        • aboabo on 15/03/2018 - 11:38

          So, use of 'Rapid' in title was a joke?

        • spaceflight on 15/03/2018 - 12:11

          @aboabo:

          No it is rapid compared to the USB specification.

          USB 1 and 2 provide a maximum of 500mA and USB 3 900mA at 5 volts.

          Chargers that advertise as fast, quick, rapid etc are supplying a higher current than the USB specification so that devices can charge faster if they are capable of drawing extra current.

          Technologies such as Quick Charge and Power Delivery require a device and charger that support the standard. They can negotiate the optimal charge by varying the voltage and current.
          This is how you get phones that advertise things like 7 hours use from 15 minutes charging.

          @spaceflight: More…

          See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB#Power

          Also QC requires a Snapdragon chip in the device.

        • spaceflight on 15/03/2018 - 19:06

          @MrBear:

          Not quite true, devices can be QC certified without using a Snapdragon chip.

          For example Samsung phones that use an Exynos chip are QC certified.

    • pizzaguy on 14/03/2018 - 12:37

      It says "QC" nowhere, if this is what you ask.

      It has 2.4 amp ports, which should allow to charge devices pretty quick.

      Not sure if that helps.

      • BargainKen on 14/03/2018 - 12:49

        12watts vs 15-18w on QC2/3 but the quality of the cables also matter somewhat.

      Reviews tend to indicate it isn't as fast as you may like..

      • CountDuckula on 14/03/2018 - 12:57
        +5

        Eeek, voltage sagging under 5V when pulling less than an amp, not good.

        • INFIDEL on 14/03/2018 - 13:07

          "Simply removing a cable from a samsung charger (showing 5.05 vdc & 1.05A) and plugging it into any of the ports (2.4A or 1A) the same phone (Samsung Note 3) with same cable will then drop to 4.86 vdc & 0.93A." from above review.

          Other major safety & operating issues listed!

          Useless! That changed my mind & did not buy. Returned a similar 4 port international charger to Bunnings for same issue.

          @Infidel:

          Yeah now I feel bad about posting that the charger is "very decent" and I can't change it now :P

          It charges. Not a quality charger, but better than my friend who bought a charger in Indonesia and the cable melted.

          It shouldn't electrocute you, but you will get "ghost touch"

          Honestly, I'd buy a Blitzwolf 5 port charger and just buy an adapter plug for the country I want to travel to.

        • INFIDEL on 14/03/2018 - 13:43

          @StrayfireX:
          Yes, read your comment below.
          Hope you enjoyed your studies😀

          Bunnings sold similar unit for $7.50 a few months back in deal. It charged OK, but ghost screen issue indicated poor design. Was hard to bring myself to return at that price!

          But a few cheap chargers don't charge at 5V, dropping voltage when charging. That usually means slow & sometimes no charging!

          As for safety… Fell apart for 1 reviewer exposing live wires…

          Usually not worth buying cheapies with design & safety flaws. Some plastic shatters when dropped. (And others go up in flames!) Not what you want when travelling.

    • spaceflight on 14/03/2018 - 12:46

      No it doesn't

  • Viospeed on 14/03/2018 - 12:47

    Can I charge the Playstation 4 controller through this?

    • spaceflight on 14/03/2018 - 12:49

      Do PlayStation controllers charge from USB?

    • pizzaguy on 14/03/2018 - 12:56

      You can.

      That's just an international adapter with no USB charger!

    Thanks, ordered two.

    Will no doubt lose the overseas adaptors when I need them.

  • iamwinner on 14/03/2018 - 13:05

    Just needed one for my travel in 2 weeks. Thanks for the post

  • StrayfireX on 14/03/2018 - 13:08

    These are very decent overseas chargers. I bought one to use when I was stuck in an Indonesian village for 8 months.

    Something to note is that it triggers "ghost touch" in my Nexus 5 where the screen starts thinking that it's being touched when it's not.

    It's not a problem if you don't use your phone while this "ghost touch" affects it (until you finish charging).

    When I'm in Australia I use my Blitzwolf charger to avoid these issues, but otherwise this is a solid USB charger.

    Thanks OP.

    Had $20 credit in my account so grabbed 2

    If no A tick I'll return them

  • GordonR on 14/03/2018 - 15:12

    Had one that lasted only about two overseas trips and then just stopped charging.

    It was good while it worked.

  • techhead on 14/03/2018 - 19:53

    I'd suggest avoiding even at the low price point. phantom touch is an indicator of a bad Y capacitor design leaking way too much transients from the mains. Someone reporting a plug coming apart is a dealbreaker. Possibly dangerous and Kogan has been in hot water for this before.

  • netizen on 14/03/2018 - 20:27

    Thanks OP ordered, this one compatible Indian power points?

  • berko_max on 14/03/2018 - 21:02

    It says 'travel', but to you think i could be used and left always on? Like behind the tv for chromecast and other USB's?

    • Eeples on 14/03/2018 - 21:30

      I wouldn’t.

      Btw I use my tvs USB to power my Chromecast.

  • Cheap Bastard on 14/03/2018 - 21:32

    Just got 2 and don’t know why. But, you never know… right?

  • ycon on 14/03/2018 - 23:37

    This thing gonna catch fire if I use it?

  • Dpkmax on 15/03/2018 - 03:47

    Thanks Op ordered one now I can make my travel plans.

  • Allan Thomas on 15/03/2018 - 12:33
