Does it charge Android devices using AC current instead of USB current in any port?

We only have I-phones, but so far anything we plug in with a USB plug works well.

From Wagan - -all ports are USB current. If plugged into the car, they are then powered via DC, and if plugged in to the wall with the optional AC power, then it would be AC current. The amperage through each USB port will not change either way. You can call into Wagan at 800-231-5806 and order the optional AC adapter if you wish.

in order to charge from AC (home) power, you need to buy the AC adapter. I believe they sell it on the Wagan.com website. The USB ports are DC power by design.

I would check with Wagan to be sure, but as near as I know the output from any port is standard USB at 2.1 amps. I hear some Samsung devices have problems due to their proprietary wiring of USB.

You can charge it by plugging it into a power source (the same as your android phone etc). Very easy to use.

No. It can only charge things that are charged via a USB port (like a cell phone or iPod).

The AC adapter says 1A on it. It appears that it provides the max of 500ma per port. I connected my android phone to charge off of the hub, and it's reporting that it's being charged via "USB" which means it's not drawing more than 500ma. When I charge my cell with a direct usb wall charger (that came with my phone), it reports being charged via "A/C" (1amp). The power cord is 5 feet in length. Also, the USB connector (which is attached and can't be disconnected from the hub) that plugs into the computer is also 5 feet in length.

No. Charger has a flip out AC plug and includes an car plug but no USB port.

Yes, I use my Android wall charger with no problems, it charges faster than with the computer.

Yes. USB output is indeed AC mode. I cannot say enough good things about this charger. Works like a boss!

I have Android devices. They charge from the NA port. They do NOT charge from the A port. Bummer.

Good question, dont remember if it actually does. I pretty much use it via USB power.

The idea you put forward can be realized to some extent. This hub generally could charge devices like your iphone or android phones through the usb 3.0 port. But some special devices like ipad or Samsung PAD will fail. After all the ordinary usb ports are not equal to charging ports.

Yes. It charges anything that used a USB cord. It also had a 1 amp or 2 amp port depending on your device preferences.

I don't think so. All USB ports have 5 volts but not enough current for charging unless specified.

It's usb(universal serial bus, a very common computer plug in) to micro usb(99% of Android phone chargers) I hope that info helps you answer your question

Yes. It uses a separate "round" socket of which the provided AC adapters jack is plugged into for charging the device.

I just checked the instructions that came with the unit. It states that you can charge USB devices on AC or battery power but in order to save battery life the unit will cease charging external devices if being played on a high volume setting during battery operation. Hope that helps. ;)

I do not know, but you can use any standard USB cord to charge your devices. It's standard USB out, and mini USB in to charge the device.

Yes. There are 2 USB outlets. One is labeled 5v 1 amp and the other is marked 5v 2.1 amp. Either will charge a phone. The 2.1 amp outlet, however can be used to charge a tablet.
