So it looks like 1 to 5 cable that is often bought with these is getting bad rap. Any other way to charge more than one at a time?

Hi Gregory! I just asked the question of the best "proven" way to charge these batts and I'm convinced by the majority of answers is to use the USB end and keep the mAh's the same 1 thru 5, of course. It will take longer, but successful all around, as many have said and I tend to agree. Some have used, me included, a 3.7V wall charger, but I don't feel any longer. I hope that this helps and puts your mind at ease as it does mine!&#128522;

I use the 1 to 5 for charging hi-capacity batteries with no problems. It takes longer than charging just one, but that is to be expected. I'm not aware of any alternatives.

Hi there, I found out that all these cables are useless! Only the converter device worked for me! Of course I have not checked them with every equipments, but I wasted money on five or six different cables, and none of them actually worked for any degree of satisfaction! And I was too lasy to return them, mainly because I lost the track of them when I bought them and what was the name of the cable!

They must be charged in pairs for the charger to work correctly, hope this helps , have a great day, sandy..

We can give you some discounts on the shipping cost. 5 cables cost much more to ship than 1 cable

Yes, I just did that. I bought 2 additional adapters so I have 3 connected and 1 spare.

On the cable question, Monster prices are completely ridiculous. You'll be more than fine with the Amazon cable or better yet get one where I've gotten all of my cables (of any kind): www.monoprice.com

Hi M. Prince,Just like the listing note stated, we recommend that you avoid simultaneously connecting five or more of such "self-powered" devices. To ensure a stable connection, the connected devices must not exceed a combined current of 5A. This is especially important for any devices with high power requirements such as "self-powered" hard drives which draw power from the USB port.

Look at all companies. I got mine for $1.32 There RE SEVERAL PRICES FOR THE SAME CABLE

None. I just can't understand how the price goes up by $440 for two versus the $60 local store cost for one when NOT ON SALE! Something is fishy here. That can't be a $380 quality charger they added.

Yes, that is the idea, and like the other answers say, you can probably get away with only using one. However, if you aren't using a USB hub, you should just play it safe and use both; I've had a hard drive with the same sort of setup that usually worked with just one cable, but it was right on the edge, and I had it cut out a couple times. If you are using a hub, it doesn't matter if you use both or not, they're generally capable of providing all available current up to 2.1 Amps through any single port.

well I've only got one of the two car chargers I ordered so far. but in answer to your question both ports are the same so you can use two devices at a time to charge.

I have no issues , I love these and have 4 sets so I always have a charged set , and with 4 out of 4 working perfectly thats about as good as it gets.

I had 4 hooked up at first, but I got rid of 1 & now I have 3. I used a splitter to get more than 2. Hope this helps.
