AC Powered USB Hub as a Charging Device?
im wondering if i could buy a 4-port usb hub, with an external power supply, and use it for charging mp3 players and other devices that charge via usb. it wouldnt be connected to a pc or anything, but just powered up so i could charge things with it. would that work?
im planning on buying my nieces and sister mp3 players for christmas. they have a computer, but its not on all the time. im looking for something that could charge at least 2 devices at once, so the girls wont be fighting over a single charger. i found this belkin dual usb charger at newegg. i have an identical one, but got it on closeout for $6. $30 is more than im paying for the mp3 players (a piece), so im looking for a cheaper route. i found this usb hub for just $15. if it could be used as a charging device, it would work out great! thanks! |
