There are 6 USB charging ports on this charger. 4 of the ports has a charging speed of 5V/2.4A that is good considering they’re able to charge any Non-Compatible Quick Charge device at its max charging speed.
This is true for when it comes to charging smartphones and tablets such as iPads and some Samsung Galaxy tablets that don’t use Quick Charge.
That said, the main event of this charging station is its use of Quick Charge and how it has two USB ports that use Quick Charge.
As a result, you’re able to charge two Quick Charge compatible devices their max charging speed at the same time. This is great if you and somebody else have a Quick Charge compatible device as you both can charge your smartphones at their max power at the same time.
Or you can potentially charge a Quick Charge phone and a tablet at the same time and have them both charge very quickly.
Max Output of Power
The max Output of power that this USB charging station has is plenty as its 60W of power and that translates over to 12 Amps.
As a result, if you were using each of the ports and the max output of 12A is being reached, each of the ports would be able to Output a charging speed of 5V/2.0A. That is good even though you won’t be able to use any of the ports at their max power each of the 6 devices that you’re charging at the same time would charge rather quickly.
Also, the great thing is that you can use the max power of four of the standard ports at the same time.

Size and Weight:
Since this USB charging station has 6 ports, it’s, of course, going to be quite large. That said, it’s not large in an unmanageable time of manner, it’s just large in terms of a wall charger and won’t be an obstruction so long as you don’t have a tiny desk or a crowded surface to place it on.
This Aukey 6-Port Desktop Charger has a length of 4 inches, a width of 2.8 inches, and a thickness of 1 inch.
The weight of the charger is 7.3 ounces. Nothing too large at all and you’ll have no problems keeping it close to your computer while you have lots of devices charging at once.
The only real issue with it is making the charger stand vertically as it’s quite slim and has a curve at the bottom that doesn’t make it very stable when you place it on a surface in its vertical position.

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.
