Can I use this to charge two Android devices at once? Can the USB port only be used for Apple devices?

From the Anker website: Not all charging ports are created equal. Standard ports only charge Apple OR Android devices at full speed. Our solution?

I have charged my Galaxy S4 and my wife's Kindle at the same time. I have also used it to charge an iPod and iPad, but separately.

I have been able to charge two android devices simultaneously. If course, the rate of charge decreases with two devices.

This charger had an extra powered usb port, you can charge any device with the proper cable

Yes, it can be used to charge two Android devices at once. My understanding is that the apple port only charges an Android device at 1.5A, but the Apple device at 2.1A. It charges my S3 pretty darn quick though.

I use it for my Galaxy S5 and my son's iPhone 6 at the same time - works great.

Both ports individually will provide up to 3.1 amps as long as there is only one device attached. When two devices are attached the "A" port gets the bigger share of the 3.1 amps and is the only port to use with an iPad. Clearly, with two devices attached neither will charge as quickly as when any one device is charged by itself. The 3.1 amp total combined output is inadequate to charge two iPads simultaneously.

The specs provide the information you are asking. It provides 2.1A per port simultaneously which is enough to charge two ipads at the same time as quickly as if you were using two individual ipad chargers. In practice, it seems to work as advertised although I don't have any way of measuring the output while both units are charging.

The same USB charger you use on your Android phone. Do not try and use and Apple charger...

Hi, yes you can charge 2 iPhones at once, just that one will charge faster than the other. The 2.1amp is great in the sense that it charges your iPhone very quickly. It will and does not harm the iPhone.

I have used it on kindles, 3 different android tablets and2 different phones. It will charge just about any portable device i can think although i dont think it would do much good for laptops. All 3 ports will charge any device. The difference is that one port(a) will charge apple fast and one port(s) will charge android devices faster. The one with no letter will still charge anything just slower. I charged a kidle hdx from 7% to full and still had 2 lights showing

yes, i've used it to charge both phones and ipads -- anything with usb connectivity.

I used it for iPhones and IPad. Not sure if that helps any. Both ports are not made for all apple products though. I can use both for an iPhone 5 but only one would charge an iPad 2 and old iPhone 3G.

Some Apple devices require higher amperage. Plugging an Android device on the Apple port should still work, but the device may think it is plugged into a computer USB port and revert to the minimum 0.5 amperage power draw resulting in much slower charging. This happens much less often these days but is still a possibility. Plugging an Apple device into the non-Apple port will likewise still work, but it will probably not charge as fast as the dedicated Apple port.

yes you can... it is a great little device for charging more than one usb driven device.

No, the "A" USB port is for apple products and can't support two devices at the same time. The "NA" USB port is for MP3 players and the like but I believe that when one port is being used, the other one in inoperative.

No, it cannot power multiple devices from a single USB port. It is meant for providing the required power to a single USB 3 device, when the power source (e.g. laptop, desktop etc) is incapable of providing the required power from a single USB port.

In my experience, I have not noticed a difference in charging times. If you plug in an Android device in the Apple port, it won't charge any faster as it will only pull the max without destroying the device.

I've tried to use it with my iPad and my iPhone. And for what ever reason I can only charge one device at a time even though there are 4 ports. And that's using it in the U.S.

As far as I can tell, both ports are the same. We don't have an iPad, but we charged two phones at the same time and both charged. We also charged a Kindle and an Android tablet with no problems.

Both ports will work. I have successfully charged both my iPhone and my iPad (2.1 amp port) at the same time.

Yes. You can charge 2 USB devices and 3 electrical devices at the same time.
