Does this HUB come with 2 additional charging ports, 1.5A &amp; 2.1A max?

Yes... but I tried plugging 2 new iPhone 5s into them to charge, using Apple cables, and they didn't charge. so basically this hub did not work for me at all!

Yes it does. It has 2 - USB2.0 and 1 - USB3.0 ports for a total of (3) three.

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).

MANUFACTURER RESPONSE: Thanks for asking! 2.5A is the total power available from the power supply- NOT the amount of power available to ANY ports. To say that another way, you would have 625mA (.625A) power per port max when using all 4 ports. The max current draw for a device complying with the BC 1.1 specification from any given port is 1500mA (1.5A). Please note this full current draw would be available to only one device at a time. When charging 2 devices simultaneously, we would expect charging at a max rate of around ~1250mA (~1.25A)- assuming no current is required by devices in the other two ports. Sorry we can't offer a more clear explanation here- USB charging is really a complex topic where devices from different manufacturers have very different behaviors. To top that off, many devices actually negotiate with the host PC to determine what rate to charge at, so behaviors on these will vary depending on whether a host PC is on and awake versus when there is no host PC or when the PC is sleeping.

Lol yes, but really look for them since its pretty small at first i didnt realize it had two till a week later. So there are 2 charging ports

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.

Looking at this produt on Amazon it does not appear have any charging ports. I have an earlier model 7 port hub with one 2A charging port which works very well, but I find it best to have the hub plugged into your laptop USB port before you turn the laptop on. Usually if a hub has a charging port(s) the descrption will include this infoirmation. Hope this is helpful

Yes, and since it has two USB outputs you can charge two devices. Even when it's plugged in

Yes I do believe it does. It has two outputs, use the 1A first and if takes too long to charge then use the 1.5 A side.

Its not a hub, that is it does not allow you to connect multiple USB devices to a single USB port. Its only a charging station, allowing you to connect power to 4 devices that charge via a USB port (2x1amp, 2x2amp devices)

It has one USB port and one 12 volt port. I suspect that you can use a hub to create more USB ports but I don't know for sure since I use my Nomad primarily to charge my auxiliary camper battery rather than as a USB charging source.

Never used as a charging station but as a hub it is recommended that only 5 ports be used simultaneously
1559797
Yes, it is a powered hub so that any connected devices have the required power. So there is a power connection, Computer connection and the 6 USB ports. Hope this helps! Paul

Yes. One port is a bit faster than the other but we do plug in two phones or a phone and a tablet. The tablet works best in the 2.1A port. I like mine very much. It sticks out less so less in the way. With the red color you see it at a glance.

From the manual: "The charger will only supply the maximum charge current allowed byyour device up to 2.4 amp." The combined total allowed the 2 ports is 4 amps.

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).

All multiport USB chargers will split the power between the ports but this one is 3A. One port will get 2A and the second 1A so it is sufficient to power all new devices that require 2A charge (like iPad and large screen smart phones) and use 1A port to power second device without compromising on time. Just make sure to use original device cable.
