Dual (or more) mains usb adaptors

[Adik Ted]

I'd like to be able to charge two or more intellicig evo batteries (m402 size) at the same time without using the laptop. I've seen a few fairly cheap (just over £5) dual mains usb adaptors but I'm not sure if they have enough power (the evos charge pretty quickly using intellicig's mains usb adaptor but a dual's no good if I have to wait twice as long for them to charge). Anyone know what power's required or already has something they can recommend?

Thanks bigozone.

The other thread refers to cheap pasthroughs, not multi-way USB ports.
I just bought one from a garage where I was filling up for £3.99 and it is a four way USB extension that charges 4 batteries at the same time in the same time.
I've decided to screw the Christmas tree at work and just keep 4 batts on charge, Bah Humbug!!!

This one has enough power to use 2 PTs at once, so no problem charging 2 bats at the same time with no power loss. USB Dual Power Adapter

amperage to 1 amp each. May be cutting it close.

Our Mains USB gives 1 milliamp at 5v. A 220 milliamp hour battery could charge
in around 1 hour if sharing with 3 others on a 4 way adaptor.
However, most chargers restrict the charging current to around 80ma-100ma
so charge time is 2-3 hours. Plenty of current for charging 4 at once in 2-3 hours.

Thanks for the replies.

I think my daughter has one of them 4 way adaptors John. I'll see if I can dig it out and give it a try with the intellicig mains adaptor.

That looks a bargain and the collapsable plug sounds good but I presume it wouldn't work in the UK.
