I want to query about this Aukey 6 Port Desktop Charger, that can I use low power bluetooth device or phone or headphone to charge, like in this charger, it said it will charge upto 2.4 amp per port (total of 4), but what about a phone of 5V-1 Amps, a bluetooth headphone 5V-0.6 Amps.
My question is that this desktop charger is capable of providing that low power like 5V-0.6 Amps to my headphone or my phone, or it will only charge max 5V-2.4 Amps or 5V-2 Amps???
Thanks Please reply ASAP.
Hey there,
This desktop charger will be able to charge your phone at 1 Amp and also your headphones at a 5V/0.6A charging speed.
The 5V/2.4A charging speed is simply the max amount of power range for each port. Lower charging rates are available for devices that don’t need 2.4 Amps of charging power.
Thank you for your time and if you have any more questions, then please ask.
