Question about USB charging Hub Wattages

[deerose]

I'm looking to purchase a USB charger Hub to charge my Spinner and istick batteries with one power cord. The trouble is that they come in 25w, 40w, 65w setups, and I don't know which one to buy. Anyone know if the highest setup (65w) will damage my batteries, or just make them charge faster? When I bought my first setup, I was warned not to plug my USB cable into an iPhone USB charger, but only to use the supplied power supply, so I thought I'd post the question to this forum Informed suggestions welcomed!

My current Setups:
1. Lifestyle Mech Mod w/ Aspire Atlantis Tank + 1 extra tank
2. Innokin Eleaf Istick Battery w/ Aspire Nautilus Mini
3. Kanger EVOD Starter Kit (single coil)
4. Kanger EMOW Setup (double coil)
5. Vapros VV 510 Spinner Battery with Kanger Protank Mini

The iStick can charge faster with the usb lead plugged into a 1 (or dual 2) amp mains wall adapter. I bought a 2A dual usb for this last week.
The evod, emows and Spinner won't charge faster than if you used a 500mAh (max) wall adapter, as far as I know.

Hi I use USB charging. No problem.

Thanks for your reply!
The 110v Plug in Chargers that came with all the units output to the USB cable at DC 5v
I currently have (5) separate charging devices that need to plug into (5) different wall outlets.
I wanted to buy a USB hub that all (5) of my USB connections could plug into the wall outlet with 1 plug.
The problem is that the USB hubs offered on Amazon look like they are 25w, 40w, 65w versions. I am wondering if one of these will work for me. Not sure the benefit between the diff wattage versions.

Typically these multi usb wall plugs have different ratings for each usb. I have one that has a 1 amp outlet and a 2.1 amp outlet. I have another that has a total of 2 amps over 2 outlets (depends on whether you plug in 1 device or 2). That's really what you need to know...how many amps for each outlet.

A typical ego charger uses the charger itself to regulate things. I've used up to 2.1 amps with no problem. I don't really know much about the istick, but I suspect it has an internal charger.

The warnings about the chargers are that you should ALWAYS USE THE CHARGER SUPPLIED WITH YOUR BATTERY.

If the charger for your battery has a USB connector, it should be safe to plug it into any USB port or power supply with a USB connection.
Apple devices should be avoided as Apple does not use the true USB spec for charging, and Apple chargers can supply voltages well outside of the USB spec.

The iStick and other internal battery mods with a USB connector on them have built-in charging circuitry and will charge the battery as fast as they can, using a higher-powered hub or wal-wart will allow the internal charger to charge the battery faster than using a lower powered power source.
