Will this also charge the device or just the devices attached to the hub?

It's good for reading the devices plugged in - will not charge the tablet. Can charge a phone if plugged into this device and then into the tablet. (at least in my case, it charged a nexus 4 while plugged into the tablet). I wouldn't recommend unless your last resort, otherwise your tablet is then dead.

It will power and/or charge the device(s) attached to it. Great backup power device.

The USB hub doesn't need one for most devices, the AC adapter that comes with can also easily be replaced with a universal one you buy locally.I am using it just with the USB power fine.

MANUFACTURER ANSWER: Thanks for asking! This hub is not designed to charge devices that require special charging signals, like iPhones/iPads, Android phones/tablets, etc.

MANUFACTURER ANSWER: Thanks for asking! I'm not sure I understand the question? The main power source for charging? For connecting multiple devices to your tablet? -- If you can comment back to this with information on what tablet you have and what you plan to use this hub for I can try to clarify.

it works, but no it does not charge. I have yet to find a decent, reliable and affordable USB hub, especially one that looks as good as this one (too bad it doesn't work as well as it looks).

I've charged it while I have something plugged into it. I don't know 100% that it was actually charging the Jackery, but it charged my devices.

It's got a USB connection, so any cable you have that has a USB end, it will charge the device it's attached to.

Mine will charge either the included charger or via USB so yours should as well

It's only a charger it just allows 2 devices to be charged at the same time.

No. The accessory doesn't care what device you are charging, it just provides power. Make sure the Powerstation is completely charged to 4 dots of charge before you continue.

Not in my opinion. You ned a Hub with electric power, because with the energy of the laptop only can connect 1 device , if you connect 2 devices and one of them is USB 3 , the device falls . I use 2 to 4 devices (Blu ray drive, Hard disk external) and they only work with a Hub with electric power. With this Satech Hub they don't work . Is a pitty because is very beautiful, but doesn't work , I'm sorry

The hub has one high output power port on the side, that uses the AC adapter. The other 3 ports seem to run power through the main line without the AC adapter. How much power are you going to need to run you Hard drive, I don't know. I do know that my iPad only will charge with the power plugged in and it hooked into the high output port.

The hub's charging capabilities are independent of the computer. I have numerous devices charging at the same time via the hub, not through the computer, even though they both are connected.

Yes, it will charge all USB devices. The charger has one USB port, similar to one in a computer or on a wall outlet charger. You must supply the various cords to plug in your various devices.

If you use an adapter it will charge the newer devices. You need one adapter per device.
