When travelling, we road warriors have two major problems to take care of. The first is to make sure that all our gadgets like laptop, tablet, and smartphone are charged up. The second, is to find enough power outlets to charge up all the devices at the same time at the end of the day. The last thing that we want at the end of a tiring day is to wake up in the middle of the night to swap charging devices. The Belkin SurgePlus USB Swivel Charger is there to help you charge up all your devices at the same time and protect your devices from power surges as well.
While it is not really compact, the Belkin SurgePlus USB Swivel Charger is sturdily built and very well designed with the road warrior in mind. It provides 3 extra AC outlets without the need for extra cords. To ensure that the charger itself does not obstruct other power outlets on the wall, the plug can be rotated 360 degrees moving the body out of the way. Plugging all your devices into a single outlet extension also makes it easy for you to retrieve all your cables and adapters at the same time. I’ve lost quite a few cables because I left them at a hotel outlet.
Besides the 3 AC outlets, the Belkin SurgePlus USB Swivel Charger has another 2 USB charging ports. This allows you to leave your USB-AC power adapters at home and just plug your USB charging cable directly to the surge protector.
Two different models of the Belkin SurgePlus USB Swivel Charger are available depending on your power needs. For the higher end version, the outlets provide a 2.1 A charging current. This is ideal for charging larger devices like laptops and tablets. The cheaper version provides 1 A current and is more suited for smaller devices like smartphones.
Both models come with surge protector function that protects charging devices from sudden power surges. The Belkin SurgePlus USB Swivel Charger is backed by a lifetime warranty and a $75,000 warranty for devices that are connected to it.
