USB charging has become very common nowadays. Almost everyone has at least a device that charges via USB. In fact, it is not uncommon for a visitor at your home to ask where she can charge her phone even before exchanging greetings. Today even a person you don’t know can start a conversation by simply asking, “Do you have a type-c USB charger”. Yes, USB devices have become very common and so should the USB charging stations!
Although it is best to charge your mobile device with its charger adapter, having a generic high-speed USB wall outlet in the house can be very handy. For instance, you may have forgotten the charging adapter at work and want to charge your phone to make an important call. If you have a USB wall outlet, you would just plug in the cable and charge your phone. Otherwise, you would have to bug your neighbor or miss the call altogether. If you have a party at your house and all your friends’ phones run out of charge, wouldn’t it be cool if there is a couple of available charging ports where each of them can plug in their smartphones to charge?
High-speed USB wall receptacles deliver optimal universal USB charging to all USB devices. They do not overcharge or undercharge like a charger adapter when you plug in different devices. Also, the wall USB outlets are easy to install and offer multiple charging ports. In this article, I bring you the 5 best quick charge USB wall outlet sockets. They combine multiple smart USB charging ports and AC outlets. So you can use them to replace your ordinary wall receptacle. Some in the selection are for plugging in to the existing wall sockets. No wiring is needed!
