Anyone measured actual current (amperage) this unit delivers (1) on each port charging only one device (2) same but charging two high draw devices?

No, but it charges my notoriously finicky-to-charge Samsung Galaxy S3 and my Nook HD+ at the same time.

Yes, I regularly charge two devices simultaneously. Great little device, turns two wall plugs into three, plus the two USB ports as well, all active at the same time.

To answer your question yes is port supplies the 2 amps. Each USB port is dedicated. Unlike a hub that would split power. I had two iPads connect as well as one iPad and one iPhone and it worked perfectly

I just took these readings from my solar charge controllers remote display. It appears to draw about .4 amps on low and .5 on high. I ran it for a while on both settings and it held steady at those readings. It was plugged into a cigarette adapter I'd install in the RV for small load devices.

First I would like to know how many gadgets are you charging at the same? If you a are charging 2 tablets at the same time its normal to get hot because you are drawing a lot of current. Remember that tablet

The first one you use Will always charge at the full 2A rate. If while one item is charging you charge another item, that port will always charge at the lower rate.

The vendor says the power is distributed based on draw, so yes, one port could have 4 amps leaving the rest with nothing (so don't plug anything else in).

I'm pretty sure either one will be the same. Most chargers like this are a parallel circuit so there is no number one port, per se. The ports output equal amps unless marked.

I hooked this unit up and switching between the two contacts, I can see a slight difference in the brightness, Hooking it up to a current meter confirms this, with the draw being ~300mA vs ~400mA. I don't know if the difference is enough to notice, I would suggest testing them rather than just replacing them and assuming that it is fine.

I ordered one and it has two USB ports, HOWEVER, I have been unable to charge two devices simultaneously (I tried with iPhone and iPad and was unsuccessful).

output is just over 8 amps. If you split it you may get 4 amps to each, which is just over a 2 amp trickle charge. I would recommend charging one then the other to get it done quicker. If they are parallel , one may charge slower, so again, I would just do 1 at a time.

It's 2.4amp total. If one device is charging, it would pull a maximum of 2.4amps. If two things are plugged in, they would share the 2.4amps.

From the Anker website: Not all charging ports are created equal. Standard ports only charge Apple OR Android devices at full speed. Our solution? PowerIQ technology intelligently identifies your device and speaks the language it needs for full speed charging. Coupled with an industry-leading 4.8 Amp output, charge any two devices both at full speed. - See more at: http://www.ianker.com/product/71AN2452CS-BA#sthash.mpyMklv2.dpuf

The 2.1A rating on these types of receptacles are total amps that can be pulled from both USB, not separately. That means if you plug in two iPADs they will share the available amperage up to 2.1A total. This is probably closer to 2.5A realistically to get the 2.1A rating.

I have been using these chargers for some time now with no issues. The back reads:4.8A, 24W Dual Port AC AdapterModel: L48WCInput: 100-240V~50/60Hz, 0.5 AOutput 1: 5V/2.4A (max)Output 2: 5V/2.4A (max)Then it has different symbols similiar toF(C (€ RoHS Compliant

The way I've done it is just plug a USB cord into each of the two ports. One USB is a higher charging power than the other. I've had good luck charging two things at once.

I really wish people would look more closely at the product. I myself am trying to find the same information as you and almost bought this unit. However, taken directly from the manufacturer's website (Accell), I found the following:· USB CHARGING: 2 Ports, 5V, 2.1A Shared.So unless the manufacturer incorrectly described it's own product, this, just like most others, have a total of 2.1A for all usb ports. If using both usb ports at the same time the 2.1A will be split, reducing the charging time of 2 devices (ipads, tablets).
