Has or is anyone using this hub to run a perk farm? What's the most amount of smartphones you've had plugged in and charging at the same time?

I have connected aver 4 different devices at once (3 Smart phones, 1 Tablet) to charge without any issues. Charging using a wall charger probably is faster. As a usb hub it a great product.

I do know that you can daisy chain these hubs, but this hub is a 2.0, and all will get is 2.0. If you daisy chain a 2.0 into a 3.0 , you will still only get a 2.0. If your phone, or your charger needs a 3.0, that will make a difference. I have done this and my phone would not charge. Have not run a perk farm, didn't need to, but everyone in my home can charge phones at the same time, and can still use other USB devices at the same time, as well.

Sorry not sure what a perk farm is but I have 11 different things; phones, tablets and it seems to do the job just fine. The wall charger is always the fastest.

I have used it with six devices and it works fine. Warning: Do not attempt to charge devices (cell phones, tablets, etc.)! It is not designed to charge devices.

Throwing in my two cents. Get two for this. It'll work fine for awhile for you the way you want to do it, but ultimately, your battery is going to lose charge 'cause you will be running close to max on the panel all things considered unless you are in bright sunlight all the time. Plus, over time, your battery is not going to charge as efficiently. My 100W Grape tests at 5 amps in good sunlight. But then there's nighttime....:-) I run an off grid system, and am going to get a second panel just because of those cloudy days. An MPPT controller will help maximize your charging too. I haven't gotten one of those yet. Throwing in my two cents. Get two for this.

I have one working, battery holds up fine and is not an issue. The issue is the usb distance, I finally used a usb hub and it started working fine. When plug direct in usb I had problems.

Love this product. It does go through my smartphone. The only problem we had with it was our electrical service goes out quite often and it would not reboot everytime. So we plugged it into a timer and it goes off once a day for 15 minutes and reboots. This way when we lose power it will automatically come back up. Works perfectly. Great reporting functions as well.

Hi, It basically works as a file server/Battery Backup. Head on over to Youtube and watch this video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nElke81kzo and also hit up the RavePower Page: http://www.ravpower.com/ravpower-rp-wd01-filehub-3000mah-power-bank.html for more info. Hope this was a help, Cheers...

I did not. Charged it fully and then used it till less than 7%. I'm averaging 4 days of usage... a mild user (wifi & bluetooth off). Bought a second battery so that I can charge one while the other is being used.

I've charged 1amp devices in the 2.1amp outlets with no problems. I have. Blackberry which will not charge off the 2.1amp outlets for some reason but no damage has been done to the device

Experimentation tells me that the answer is NO. My experience with bus powered USB hubs has been problematic. Commonly you get a "power fault" on one or more of the devices involved and restoration is very difficult without rebooting (ugh).

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.

It needs 2 powered USB ports to operated correctly. You would need would need 2 hubs

I bought it to use for camping. It helped my phone last all weekend without plugging it in (I even played games on it for about 3 hours and still had over 30% left by Sunday night. If you're constantly looking for a charging station, this will ease your mind.

I bought one and it malfunctioned. But yes. You can plug in 7 devices and use them all at once or which ever one you need.

Total = 750mA both ports combined. This isn't suitable for charging more than one modern phone at a time (It's very under-powered.)

On my raspberry pi (with very limited CPU power) i can run 10 of these, and it takes up less than 0.5% of my CPU. So yes, you can run as many as you want. But you do need a powered USB hub.

You asked two questions: 1. Could I use this with a plug adapter to get power from the wall? Answer: I suppose you can. However, as I use it it is for allowing my computer to read multiple memory sticks (greater than the number of USB ports on my laptop) through the USB connection. 2. Could it be used to power a Galaxy phone, camera? Answer: I guess you want to insert the USB end of your Galaxy cable into this hub. I don't know, but I would ask a different question: Can you Galaxy software read external memory sticks through a connection to this type of hub? Sorry, your questions are beyond my technical knowledge, but common sense (for me) says that your phone software is the limiting factor (rather than the hub). I've never thought of trying this with my Windows HTC 8X phone.

Its here on my desk top right now, thus it is easy to verify your question. NO, the unit immediately went off line and disconnected. Upon application of the power it came back on line. I selected this unit for two reasons: USB 3.0 and the higher current capacity. I have in the past been frustrated with "low cost" hubs that won't charge a phone for example. Hope this helps. Michael
