Let’s do a little science and math exercise. One of the fundamental equations of electricity is that P=IV, that is power (commonly expressed in Watts, equals current (Amps) times voltage (Volts). The standard voltage for USB ports is 5V, and they’ll deliver variable current, usually from 0.9A up to 3A, or a power delivery between about 5W and 15W. This 10-port charging station is rated for 60W, so if there was a device plugged into every port, there would be an average of 6W available per port. So, if you plugged power-hungry phones or tablets into every port, they might charge more slowly than they would over a dedicated charger. OTOH, if you’re mixing things like Bluetooth earbuds, phones, and smart watches, you can get plenty of charging bang for your buck here. If you really want to max things out power-wise, though, you might consider two 5-port chargers instead.
