Sandberg AC Charger Dual USB 2.4+1A EU – Hardware Review
While we love the gaming apparel made by Sandberg, the company also has a lot of other fancy items for day-to-day usage. We had the chance to look at their selection of power banks in the past, as well as their travel adapter, which proved to be a great solution for charging your devices abroad. Sadly, the travel adapter is no longer available which means that we’ll have to look for other relevant solutions. This time we’re taking a look at the AC Charger Dual USB 2.4+1A for Europe. This means that there won’t be any interchangeable plugs, but Sandberg often provides the same (or an identical) product with different plugs, making sure different regions can benefit from their exquisite line of products.
The design of the AC Charger is actually quite nice. The white device looks stylish, especially with the silver-lined border around the front plating of the charger. You’ll also see the Sandberg name subtly on the front, and the USB ports are properly marked. Other than that, there’s not that much to tell.
Comfort-wise there isn’t all that much to tell. You just plug in the adapter in your wall power outlet and you can see which USB port is which, as it is properly marked which output (2.4 or 1A) it gives. Other than that there are no distinguishable features compared to other chargers on the market. You plug it in and it properly works. It would have been nice to perhaps see a small LED light up when something is charging, but this is pretty much a non-issue. It has to be said, there are also solutions that offer more power, like having two 2.4A ports, but for most purposes, this one will suffice, especially at the low price it comes for such a dependable brand.
- Connectors: 2 x USB female, 1 x AC power male EU
- Input voltage: AC 110-240 V
- Output voltage: DC 5 V ± 0.2 V
- Output current strength: 2.4A +1A
Conclusion
Sandberg’s AC Charger Dual USB 2.4+1A EU might be inferior in terms of options and power than the Excellence AC 4.8A 2x USB, but it is a very affordable solution for having too few USB power outlets in your home. The 2.4A USB socket will suit all your charging needs, while the 1A USB socket can also charge smaller devices. If you’re looking for a decent charger with dual USB, then this one is worth checking out.
