How To Charge All You Mobile Devices On The Go

If you are spending a lot of time as a traveling photographer, you must have noticed that in addition to the usual energy consuming gadgets like strobe and camera batteries there are now a plethora of devices that need a USB charging buddy. Things like a Smart phone, an iPad or even a GoPro. Carrying around chargers and sockets for all this gear is kinda messy. Especially if you are traveling to a foreign country and need a power adapter for each charger.

Adam Dachis over at Lifehacker has a sweet solution for this utilizing a gadget travel organizer, a 7-Port USB Hub and an 11,000mAh Portable Battery to make a light weight, portable and tidy charging station.

The benefits of using a USB hub is that it can split the battery power to charge many devices at once. The specific model in the post, the D-Link DUB-H7, even supports two ports of 2.1 Amps needed to charge a tablet.

And it all packs down to a small 12x6x3 convenient inches that you can place in your car, backpack or on board carry on.
