I want to plug Anker into USB wall charger which supplies 2.4A.Then I plug my Samsung Galaxy S4 phone into Anker.Will they both charge simultaneously?

I have and do charge multiple devices at once. My teen takes it on school sport trips and let's the kids charge their phones with him

No. Bought mine in Oct 2014 - as soon as you start charging the Anker, the two USB charging ports will be disabled. Tried this with a phone and a tablet.

I tried this with a unit I purchased September 2014, and when I connect the Anker to the USB charger, it shuts off the USB ports. I was trying to use it to split a single 2A USB car charger to charge 2 phones at once, but it wouldn't do it. Both ports would shut off as soon as I connected this to the charger.In the end, I just charged one phone off this, and the other off the car adapter. Thankfully, it has capacity to spare.

Yes and no. You will be expending the Anker charge while charging your S4, so the Anker won't be gaining much charge, if at all. In fact, you would be generating heat, losing energy through the cables, and overall slowing down the charging process. You would do better to charge one then the other.

Yes, the CarbonPak will charge two devices while plugged into the charger although I would suggest a USB splitter connected to your wall charger.

If you have the USB cables for both devices, this charger should work fine. Enjoy.

I don't know, sorry - I'm charging a galaxy S4, which is a power hog and it works fine.

I bought 2. One for a samsung galaxy 4 and one for a samsung galaxy mega. I'm not positive it will work but I was under the impression that all samsung galaxy products use the same chargers.

This only has one charging USB port. If you used a splitter it may work, but it may also draw too much current from the device and not charge either phone. I have not tried it, but I would not recommend it. I have found that this charges an iPhone 4 and a Galaxy S4 very quickly, only a couple of hours for a full charge. Make sure that the switch is set to the right voltage though.

You will need a USB wall charger. When you charge your phone/tablet with the Anker, you place the large side of the USB cord into the Anker and the micro/mini side into your device that needs to be charged, right? Well, simply do the opposite to charge the Anker itself. Place the micro side into the Anker, and the large side into the USB wall charger. (You can also charge off of the "powered" USB ports off of your computer the same way.) If this didn't help, I can include links next time. Cheers, you've got a great charger on your hands if you bought this.

Yes you can. I charge a nexus 7 and s5 simultaneously. No problems as of yet!

Looking at my charger that came with my S4 it looks just like this. Looks aside, it is printed on the charger that came with the S4 that it outputs 2Amps at 5V. Therefore, even if this is not the exact model it should still work just fine with no damage to the device (hence same output).

I've used both ports for my galaxy S2 and also used one for my phone and another for my nexus 7 at the same time. Just use the 2A port for whichever device requires more power or in the absence of such a distinction, whichever device you wish to charge faster.

There is only one USB port so you can only charge both devices at the same time if you have a splitter. Otherwise you can only charge one device at a time.

Hi, I just tried charging two Galaxy S4 phones with this device. They are displaying a charging status. What I don't know for sure is what charge current they're drawing. If there's a way to get the phone to tell me that, let me know and I'll check (yeah I could cut the cable and put an ammeter on it, but I'm not quite that curious...).

This device will not charge two tablets (2.1a) at the same time. It will charge a phone and a tablet or two phones at the same time.

You will need to verify on your current charger to determine if the unit is a 1 Amp or 2 Amp charger. Here is a link to Samsung site on how to validate: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/faq/FAQ00055703/67530/SCH-I545ZKAVZW. A Samsung Galaxy S IV or newer is supported, but you listed Galaxy S 4G.

I am not sure I understand the question you have two standard USB out charging ports and one mini USB in port for charging the Anker

Absolutely. In actual fact I'm using it to charge my Samsung S4 while im writing this reply. And on top of that it charges the phone from near dead to 100% in just over 2 hrs! If you ask me that's pretty fast. It comes with 2 USB cables and 4 different adapters for multiple devices. So you can use a computer or pop on a wall adapter to charge the anker battery. FYI it has 2 ports for charging. So the beauty is you can charge 2 devices at once. Only difference is one port is 1amp and the other is a 2amp. I stick with the 2 amp for quicker charge. Love it every time I use it.

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.
