Best multiport charger 2022: All the power you need for all your devices
If you need to charge more than one device, and want to make sure that your battery pack is always fully charged, then you need to get a multiport charger.
GaN chargers (Gallium Nitride) have semiconductors that are more efficient, and therefore less energy is lost to heat. As they are more efficient, the body of the charger can be smaller with larger air gaps between the components.
Get yourself an efficient charger that can charge all your devices — or act as a docking station or a hub too. We’ve looked at some of the best chargers for your budget, which can charge all of your devices.

Multiport charger FAQ
Which charger is best for me?
When choosing chargers for your home and office, consider the power requirements that your devices need. Add the power requirements together for your peripherals to determine how many devices you need to charge concurrently.
Will you need more maximum power than the charger will support in total? If so, consider getting a more powerful charger.
Which is better: power chargers or combined hub chargers?
This comes down to personal choice. Some people want a one-size-fits-all charger that plugs into the wall and will cope with all of your devices and are prepared to pay extra for this combo. Others prefer the simplicity of a smaller charger that will fit in your pocket and go anywhere with you.
Remember, if you have access to mains power, these wall chargers are for you. If you need a power charger that will work anywhere, you need to consider a portable battery pack instead.
How did we choose these chargers?
We chose these chargers based on three factors: functionality, power output, and price.
Some of these power chargers are low cost and have fewer ports and power output than higher-cost models. However, for the price, if you only have two or three devices to power, they will fit your needs well.
Some of the chargers are ultra-compact and light with foldaway power prongs that make the chargers easy to slip in your bag when travelling; others are high-end chargers/desktop hubs that perform multiple functions that other chargers will not do.
